I have had a passion for art since I was a child. Ever since I can remember, I have been most interested in paintings that are very different from the reality we observe. They give the impression of looking deep into the artist's soul. I find them as threads from their life pieced together – like a dream.

I draw inspiration from the natural and social sciences, which provide a partial insight into the human psyche. My paintings are the voice of people who cannot express what they experience. I try to convey the emotions of people affected by unusual experiences that we don't usually think about. We are not able to enter their heads directly, but we can try as best we can to portray what they are experiencing, based on their stories and the knowledge we have accumulated.

I am a self-taught artist. I finished Biology at Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences and Medical Biology at University of Gdansk.
