Since 2002, he has been a resident of the Gdansk Artists’ Colony in the former shipyard areas, where he co-founded the artistic group “Znajomi Znad Morza” (Friends from the Seaside). He works in painting and video art. His practice focuses on images situated between representation and abstraction, with a strong emphasis on geometry.
