I have been involved in many artistic, cultural and academic events and projects. I live and work in Poland and abroad. ARTIST STATEMENT In my works I often refer - in a symbolic and metaphorical way - to mainly personal aspects of reality- aspects which usually have standard representation/ meaning. Living in a frame: systems and metasystems of concepts , also perceptions is the important subject of my art and my philosophical investigation. Most of them has its own reality. However living in the artificial prison of system of concepts created by others that devastates our way of thinking and living, and destroys and even annihilates an individual it is the another story ... Simplicity of presentation is important for my works- the sometimes strong graphic effect is intended and carefully considered. I try to introduce the audience to something deeply rooted in our 'language games' and different 'forms of life', and the dialog- sometimes subversive- between them. I also undermine our ordinary assumptions about the represented power and simplicity. Moreover I take documentary photographs.
