"The main area of ​​my research is geometric abstraction as a carrier of the idea of ​​a mathematical module through painting," says the artist. – “Processed reality can function as a metaphor, sign, symbol in a painting. I build my paintings from the simplest geometric figures: circles, squares, rectangles. A significant problem for me is the experience in the field of color, space, giving the painting strength in reception. My first fathers in painting are very important to me: the late Bolesław Polnar, Prof. Piotr Błażejewski, Prof. Jacek Jarczewski, to whom I owe a lot. Meeting with Wrocław structuralism during my studies changed my thinking about the structure itself and thinking about the painting. I experiment with unusual formats, tondos or triangular canvases, as well as in the technological aspect: e.g. combining plaster and paint. I also practice drawing and video art, where I combine elements taken from abstraction with reality.“
