I am an illustrator, designer, and visual artist working at the intersection of art, design, illustration, and new media. For over 25 years, I have combined artistic practice with commercial, cultural, and social projects, as well as educational work, including teaching visual communication and new media at School of Form.
I have participated in numerous exhibitions, projects, and residencies in Poland and abroad. In collaboration with art institutions, I develop original projects that bridge art and design. My exhibitions include critical explorations of consumer culture (“Dreams & Marketing”, CSW Kronika), reflections on branding and local identity (“Alternatif Turistik”), and experiments with multimedia and art games (“Cubature”, “Demony”, BWA Dizajn).
Interdisciplinarity and a deliberate play with visual languages are key to my practice. I combine formal experimentation with social reflection; for me, art is a tool for storytelling and for examining the relationship between image, space, technology, and the viewer. I continue to develop a visual language informed by advertising, illustration, typography, video art, and gaming culture, allowing my work to function both in gallery contexts and in new media environments, festivals, and educational spaces.
I have collaborated with cultural institutions including the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the National Film Archive, the National Theatre, the Copernicus Science Centre, and the Museum of Warsaw. My work has received multiple awards in design and illustration, including distinctions from the Institute of Industrial Design, MUST HAVE (Łódź Design Festival), Project of the Year (STGU), Śląska Rzecz, Kreatura Awards, and the Association of Advertising Creators.
In 2025, I founded GXA Gallery in Katowice: an open space for artistic experimentation, bringing together creators and audiences around contemporary art, creative industries, and socially responsible design.
