Born in 1950 in Wroclaw / Poland. 1964-1969 attended High School for Fine Arts in Wroclaw - Painting Workshop by Prof. K.Maliszewska. 1969-1972 studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw - Painting Workshop by Prof. J. Halas. In this time mainly water color and oil paintings develop - landscapes and still lifes. Over-realistic motives occur particularly in graphics and drawings.
Since 1984 domiciled in Ratingen / Germany. By and by the realistic-impressionistic painting turns into surrealistic, whereas a couple of oil pastels come into existence beside the oil paintings, accompanied by deeper themes and ideas.
The majority of the pictures are surrealistic which, besides their romantic character, also deal with actual problems. Impressed by intense non trite colours and mystical light, they point on different topics in self specific way and leave enough space for the spectator for individual and subjective interpretations. Hereby he gets the possibilty to project own meanings to the pictures to receive them more personally which intensifies their expressiveness.
Some works are privately owned in the USA, Sweden, France, Germany, Holland and Poland.
Since 2005 follow many invitations to international biennials and exhibitions - Paris, Montreal, Salzburg, Strasbourg, Florence, Venice, Barcelona, Cremona...
