1940 – 2017 A Polish painter, graphic artist, creator of relief compositions and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. One of the leading representatives of geometric abstraction in post-war Polish art. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, where he studied under Adam Marczyński, he later became a lecturer and head of the Chair of Drawing at the same institution. His work evolved from geometric painted compositions toward highly refined monochromatic reliefs exploring space, rhythm, light and shadow. From the 1970s relief became the artist’s primary means of expression, often constructed from repetitive modular elements arranged in dynamic spatial systems. Recipient of scholarships from Fondazione Romana (1972), the Kościuszko Foundation in New York (1983) and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation (2002).
