Tell us about yourself . What is your artistic background ?
I have been fascinated with art since childhood . Supposedly , I was already able to draw when I was 3 years old , but that is just what my mom says . As a child , I used to draw and paint with anything I could put my hands on : pencils , crayons , pastels , acrylic paints , oil paints , ink and so on . I did not learn to draw in an art school , I learned at cultural centres , children clubs and through courses . I received a degree in landscape architecture and I completed several courses in animation . My entire knowledge of painting was gathered in practice . At the end of my university education I became fascinated with the airbrush and with digital painting . It was then that I discovered that I love to design objects , architecture and characters for animated films and to perform stage design for live action films . Thus for several years , I worked as a graphic designer for advertising agencies and film studios . I believe that this allowed me to develop my own techniques and imagination .
Your art is futuristically unique and well executed . It stands out from amongst the crowd . Why do you think that is ?
A high performance level is easy to explain . A long time ago , one of my drawing teachers said : “ Every drawn line brings you closer to perfection .” I follow that advice ; I spend every moment drawing lines . I believe that doing this day after day for several dozen years brings me closer and closer to perfection . On the other hand , the futuristic character of my art is harder to explain . I guess I ' m just fascinated with things that are unusual , different , dynamically changing like the reality around us .
If you had to choose one of your pieces as your favourite , which one would you choose and why ?
If I were to pick just one of my paintings , it would be " Pamięć " (" Memory "). It was inspired by very difficult and sad events which I will never forget ; it has shaped me and my work . In a way , the characters depicted in the painting sacrificed their lives for it to be painted and for me to start painting in that style . Therefore , this painting will always be the most important one for me .
