Interdisciplinary Practice

Painting
My paintings serve as the foundation of my practice, combining traditional techniques with
contemporary themes and a vibrant colour palette inspired by Polish folklore.

Augmented Reality
I integrate augmented reality elements into my paintings, allowing viewers to interact
with the artwork through their smartphones and unlock hidden layers of narrative.

Sound Design
Each painting is accompanied by a bespoke soundscape, accessible through headphones,
that further immerses the viewer in the story and enhances the emotional impact of the work.

Concept Art & 3D Modelling
My background in graphic design and 3D modelling informs my artistic
process, enabling me to create detailed sketches and digital prototypes that serve as the basis for my paintings.
