I started painting when I was a child. I was born in communist Poland and now I live in Chicago ill. I lived all over the world, Europe, Africa, Middle East. I lived all over USA also. in LA, NY city, the south and now in Chicago. My inspiration comes from all the places that I have been to and all the people I have met. I believe that art's greatest role is to inspire and create higher ideals in people, to civilize humanity, nourish and protect different ideas and myriad forms of culture. Anyone calling themselves an artist should take this into consideration.
