Since 1996 has been living and working in New York. He has shown his works
mainly in the United States, Mexico and China. He graduated from the National
University of Art (in 1987; currently the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art
and Design) and the studio of A.R. Penck in Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1992).
His double educational background and the fact that he has been working on
a different continent for an extended period of time have influenced the artist’s
artistic techniques and the way he sees the contemporary world. In his art,
he uses state-of-the-art technologies, creates films and installations. Shortening
the distance between the artist and the viewer and frequently putting the viewer
in uncomfortable situations are the distinguishing characteristics of his work.
