He was a lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. He died in Cracow in 1983. He practiced painting, sculpture and graphic art. He presented his works in more than 50 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 150 group exhibitions at home and abroad, including Konstsalongen Kavaletten in Uppsala, Maya Gallery in Brussels, Grona Paletten in Stockholm, Bundy Art Gallery in New York and Gallery Lambert in Paris. From a combination of found objects - machine parts, cogs, wires, screws, beads, shells - he has created original art bordering on folk tale and animal fantasy. His spatial compositions, sculptures and reliefs, as well as prints, make up an evocative world of artistic vision.
