Supervisor in the Doctoral School

I was born in 1980. I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and graduated in graphic arts in 2007 under the supervision of Professor Eugeniusz Get-Stankiewicz. Since 2007 I've been working at the Faculty of Graphics and Media Arts at the Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw.
Since 2019, I have been working as a professor in the Poster and Graphic Design Studio, of which I am the head. I’ve participated in over 200 national and international exhibitions, including the ’International Print Triennial in Krakow’, Kraków; ’International Poster Triennial’, The Museum of Modern Art, Toyama, Japan; ’International Graphic and Drawing Biennial’, National Taiwan Museum, Taipei, Taiwan; ’International Poster Biennial’, Wilanów, Poland;  ’International Experimental Engraving Biennial’, Mogosoaia, Romania; ’International Triennial of Political Poster Show’, Memorial Museum, Mons, Belgium;  ’Guanlan International Print Biennial’, Print Art Museum, Guanlan, China.

I’ve done numerous graphic designs for cultural institutions, publications, and posters.
I’ve designed over 90 art catalogues. From 2010 to 2023, I was the art director for the FORMAT Art Magazine. During this period, I designed over 32 magazines.

In the center of my interests is the man. The most important for me is not his demonstrated superficiality, but his emotions and experiences. I often attempt to create the cohesive and closed “psychological portrait”. On people's faces we can see all kinds of emotions, conflicts and joys which determine their lives. I often turn my attention to the masks hiding people's true faces and emotions.
Citing Gombrowicz "to be a man means to be an actor". I eagerly recreate the actor's creations (masks), because behind them there is hidden the most sacred sphere of the man. It is the sphere that people want to protect from the outside influence. They do it in order not to disturb their internal ‘sacrum’.

Characteristic of the projects and research in which the PhD student is to be subsumed:

The study should encompass a wide range of themes related to image, object, and installation. The ability to precisely define this issue is significant in the context of the world around us.

These include a range of research, spanning from broadly understood drawing, graphics, and painting to multimedia installations.
