Originally from Poland I came to Paris in the eighties.
Here two encounters have been decisive in my art training –the first with the Polish painter photographer and theorist of art Zbigniew Dlubak, and the second with the Italian sculptor Manfredi Quartana.
These artists have allowed me, through their liberty and the greatness of their approach to construct and define myself as an artist.
The regularity of my meetings with Z.Dlubak, every friday for ten years, allowed me to appreciate the value of stringent reflection which is the basis of my artistic work.
In M. Quartana’s sculpture atelier I could experiment with ‘the mystery of incarnation’, where matter, according to its own rules, allows invisible entities to become visible (ideas, emotions…).
I continue this reflection with others
Exhibitions punctuate exchanges that I continue to keep alive with other artists.
Since the nineties I have participated in the following salons:
- Salon de Clichy (1997)
- SACO (Bagnoles de l’Orne, 1999)
