BIO

I am a 27 year old artist/illustrator and graphic designer who lives in Poland.

I am currently available for freelance work.

I have graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw as a painter and new media and University in Zielona Gora as a graphic designer.

Art has always been a part of my life and is my passion and my favourite hobby also.

Before I started to paint digital a few years ago I worked with traditional media like graphite, colored pencils, acrylics I still do if I find the free time.

I have been published in various magazines, books, and I am working for several companies mainly as book cover  and illustrator.
