“As a concept artist I try to adjust my style to a particular project, to be flexible, to be most faithful to a vision of Artistic Director. Flexibility and ability to work in different styles are very valuable”.

Meanwhile in his private works, kept in the socks drawer, dominate sarcasm and gallows humour. There is also a fascination of human dark side as a main sphere of the artist’s interests. Constant search for new, interesting forms indicates his universality. In concept art he specializes in design of characters. He works mostly in Photoshop, although for improvement of his skills he works manually as well using traditional media. He obtains energy and ideas from meeting people and travel. Expositions of XIX century and contemporary art have great influence upon his inventiveness. They help him to make unique creations never seen before.

He graduated Sculpture at Painting and Sculpture Department of Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław in Professor Leon Podsiadły’s studio. Professionally works for CD Projekt Red. He took part in works on every part of game “The Witcher”. Earlier he also worked for People Can Fly studio.
