His works are included in the collections of, among others: the National Museum; in Warsaw, Kraków, Szczecin, Gdańsk, and Poznań; the Albertina Society in Vienna; the Museum of Contemporary Art in New York; the NDA Gallery in Sapporo; the Pontifical Council for Culture at the Vatican; and the Museum of Art and Culture in Freiburg.
