Last years, my path has been a mixture and intermittences of painting, doing illustrations and designing. I believe that the intertwining of these three approaches of visual creation are very complementary and the perception of their unifying continuity can be a strong asset for conceptual creation and in the advertisement field.
I am a graduate in fine arts from the Academy of Fine Art in Łódź. I have been creating illustrations since my childhood, ranging from comics to photo-realism. Since 2007, I am working as an art director for Leonardo School, a major company in the field of language education in Poland. My work has been displayed within a wide range of illustrations for children books and games. I have been in charge of designing commercial content at the national and global levels. Additionally, I have been working regularly as a freelancer graphic designer and illustrator in several sectors. I was in charge of concepts creation and advertisement design throughout diverse marketing medium such as logos, books, packaging and websites.
