In his work, the painter, following the example of his great predecessors, looks for features that testify to the distinctiveness of our culture. With great respect for the workshop and history of Polish painting, he emphasizes its unique character. He finds inspiration in the retiring landscape of our province, and therefore willingly participates in the most important plein-airs of figurative art. The folklore of the Polish countryside, beliefs and customs are the scenery of painting visions, in which the author expresses his attitude to the modern world and the existence of the other.
