My practice begins with color. Not as decoration, but as primary substance — the thing that carries the weight of what I want to say before any form is established. The ochres and earth-reds and deep greens of the Undone by Dan series came from the landscape around Wrocław, from brutalist concrete under winter light, from the specific way desire feels when it is also tender.

I am interested in what is simplified almost to abstraction but remains specific. The face reduced to a mask still has a gaze. The body stripped of detail still has weight. I learned this from the brutalist buildings I grew up around — how you can take almost everything away and still have something monumental.

The animal work and the figure work are the same project for me. Both are about presence, about what it means to inhabit a body in a world that is also inhabited by other bodies. The post-human landscapes — the After Us series — are the logical conclusion: what the world looks like when it is finally free to be only itself.

I paint in Wrocław. I show and sell internationally. If a painting reaches you, wherever you are, and you feel the charge of it — that is what I am working toward.
