About

I am a UK based professional artist and commercial photographer with a Master’s degree in Ceramics and Sculpture, which I obtained in 2001 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland. My artistic journey began at the High School of Art, where I developed a diverse skill set across multiple disciplines, including photography, drawing, painting, graphic design, and sculpture. During this formative period, I honed my darkroom techniques and cultivated a deep passion for photography. After completing my Master’s degree, I relocated to London to further my education and artistic practice. While in London, I exhibited my work in various galleries throughout the UK and engaged in creative interdisciplinary exploration. Notably, I was invited to showcase my paintings and ceramics at the Henley Festival in both 2004 and 2007. I embrace a multidisciplinary approach to my work, seamlessly transitioning between different creative fields. My artistic process is characterized by spontaneity and intuition, driven by an intrinsic need to create. In addition to my fine art practice, I have a career in commercial photography. My experience encompasses a wide range of clients and projects, including portraiture of actors, artists, and models, as well as product, food, and interior photography. This versatility has enabled me to adapt to various creative demands with ease. My photographs have been featured in esteemed publications such as Elle Decoration, Country Living, and Home & Garden, and have also appeared in several books. In recognition of my work, I was honored to have my photographs shortlisted for The British Photography Awards in both 2021 and 2023. In 2019, I moved to Hastings, where I actively contribute to the local community and arts scene.
