1. Where were you born and where are you from ?

I was born in Warsaw, Poland.

2. What is your first memory connected to the art world ?

I would say that my first significant memory connected to the art world would be an exhibition of Gerhard Richters in The Neue Nationalgalerie Collection with the title Exciting Art of the 20th Century. It was the year 2007.

3. Have you always worked in the art/design field ?

Yes, I did. Both design and art where close to my heart, but the art came first. Than I started to study Interior Architecture and in parallel painting faculty as well.

4. What led you to the design creation ?

I think it was the lack of beauty around me. Growing up in the country which had been destroyed during World War II and than by communism and never rebuild properly gave my thoughts that certain things can be done in a better way in this field.

5. How would you describe your creative process and it influences ?

It is a matter of first observations and sensibility, secondly reaserch, creative process and conclusions and selection. Weather it is doing art or working in a design field.

6. Could you describe a typical day of your work ?

It is divided between my art practice and work as a designer. It also varies, depends where I am. When I work in Warsaw, I have less time to focus on my art practice. Whenever I am in Berlin, my live is more simple and I have more time to work on my art pieces. Doing art is a process that needs to be continued every single day so I try to stay focused as much as I can. I try to sketch every single day. Sketches are reflections of my thoughts and allow me to go deeper with my art process and than drawn insightful conclustions.

7. Why did you choose the specific materials you work with ?

I do not have any specific material I work with. The topic I want to express in my art practice determines the material that I work with. It can be a painting, an installation, a video, depends on various circumstances.

8. What are the technical particularities of your creations ?

It varies a lot, depends what I actually work on.

9. What advices could you give to beginning artists who would like to create sculptural design works ?

I think that the reference to our childhood is always great. Remembering how fresh and not tipical our observations where at that time could be great start to any creative process.

10. If your works had to belong to a design movement, in which one would you define it ?

I hope my creations could always look contemporary and up to date. That’s why I would never consider looking back to the past in reference to my artworks. Great example are the works of Ives Klien and his International Klein Blue, the art pieces which stay extremly up to date and do not refer to the past.
