Journal

Alongside the paintings, I keep a record of the ideas, memories, and observations that accompany the work.

Some entries begin in the studio, others in conversation, reading, travel, or everyday life. They are reflections on painting, memory, place, family, and the questions that continue to shape my practice.

I am glad you found your way here.

Before I Called Myself an Artist

Before I Called Myself an Artist

 A reflection on the quiet beginnings of painting in a student flat in Lublin — before certainty, when instinct, curiosity, and imagination first began to shape an artistic path.
