STATEMENT & BIO

I like to think that the art of collage is like the archeology of memory. I look for forgotten images and I give them a new life.

I am a collage artist (analog, digital, animation). I was born in Bydgoszcz, grew up in Cracow, and currently live in Warsaw. Previously, I lived in Berlin for seven years, where, among other things, I worked as a guide at the Salvador Dali Museum, tap-dancing and roller-skating. I am interested in surrealism, kitsch, circus, mushrooms, and whales. Some time ago, I created Lady with a Fish, which has been roaming the world ever since. I graduated in Literature (Polish Studies) at Jagiellonian University, computer graphics at the University of Science and Technology in Cracow, and I’m also a graduate of the first edition of the Ecopoetics School at the Institute of Reportage in Warsaw.
