In his workshop, choosing abstract and representational means of expression, of an opposite nature, bringing them together sometimes against their nature, he moves on the border of symbolism, (alchemy?). In his work, he takes up themes that refer to the history of art, literature and political history, exposing neo-romantic aspects. Sometimes his works are accompanied by authorial literary commentaries (e.g. Sleeping Agatha Duda, 2018, Olympia Gallery). In 2019, he discovers a lost work, Raphael Santi’s The Young Man, in his own painting. (Meaningful Dimensions, 2019).
