He was painting, sculpting, creating engravings. His works have been exhibited in over 50 individual exhibitions and more then 150 collective expositions in Poland and abroad, inter alia in Maya Gallery in Brussels, Grona Paletten in Stockholm, Bundy Art Gallery in New York or in Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris. Combination of occasionally found things – parts of machines, cogs, wires, screws, beads, shells – served him to create original art from the verge of folk fairytales and animal like fantasy. His spatial compositions, sculptures and reliefs or engravings form suggestive world of artistic vision.
