I was born in Gdansk, in Poland, in 1978. Fascinated by painting since my childhood I am also a restorer of the historical monuments and archaeologist medievist. I worked on different sites of excavations as archaeologist illustrator.

| About the Artist |
Recently installed in Ireland, I devote my weekends to painting. My original creations are inspired by Byzantine and medieval art. My personal pictorial technique is the amalgam of an old technique which emphasizes the beauty of gilding and the use of the oil-base paint for its glare of the colours. My other artistic fascinations are the different techniques of female nude and the archaeological illustration. |
