1951

 

A graduate of the State School of Fine Arts in Poznań. He defended his diploma at the Faculty of Graphic Art with honors under the supervision of Professor Lucjan Mianowski, with an annex in illustration and poster art in the studio of Professor Waldemar Świerzy. In his early years he dealt mainly with publishing graphics and drawings, painting only sporadically. Visits to France and travels in Italy, England and Spain prompted his interest painting as a medium best able to describe our surrounding reality. In his painting you can find references to pop art, hyperrealism and surrealism. He works within the broadly understood urban theme, but does not avoid the depiction of landscapes, nature or human figures. He has presented his works at almost 30 group and individual exhibitions, including Paris, Barcelona, Stuttgart and Trieste. They also have a permanent place in the collections of the Polish Army Museum, the Museum of the History of the Polish People's Movement, the Sports Museum and in private collections both at home and abroad.
