Biography
Studied in France in the atelier of Prof. Souverbie, at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris (1945), and after returning to Poland continued his studies in the atelier of Prof. E. Wasilkowski and at the Poznan State Higher School of Fine Arts (1947 - 1950). His most creative and active period was in the late 1950s and 1960s, when he established himself as one of the leading, representatives of the so-called allusive abstraction. In the second half of the 1970s the artist dramatically changed his "image", returning to representational painting. He was one of the first participants in the Koszalin International Plein-Air and Meetings of Artists and Scientists in Osieki (1963, 1964). He participated in numerous exhibitions and competitions, winning significant awards (including the 1976 Salon International Paris-Sud).
