About Me

I am an social person. I ussually have a lot of friends around me. I am a member of art asssociation named "Front Sztuki" (Front of Art). My friends and me organise meny artistic events. We lead an art place in the middle of city. It is the Artistic Tenement House. We work there on our paintings. We often invite people to join us on exciting discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people, discovering new cultures, new countries, cities...
Open minded, on a round the world trip, I wish I could share pleasant time with people.

Interests

I am interested in art, of course, but I keen on a lot of another things.
I like sport. I ussually spend my holidays skiing, biking or canoeing. We have in Poland a lot of good places for canoeing and biking.

I like cooking too. I am a vegetarian and I am looking for new flavors.

I love spend time in my summer house at the river next to Warsaw.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read novels. My favorite authors: Italo Calvino, Alberto Moravia, Larry McMurtry. I like Quentin Tarantino movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hope that it is my art... :)
In my paintings the main inspiration is pop culture and all phenomena connected with big-city life. My works are presenting icons of pop culture, parts of adverts, films scene, fragments of patterns, silhouettes of cars. I use all this things as a repeatable shadow of dream which is common part of pop imagination. But using fragments of surrounding reality I compose my own artistic world. I put recycled reality in the new context of art and thus popular signs gain a new symbolic meaning. This process is a kind of recycling of reality but in the same time it is a presentation of my feelings and my perception of world.
