He gained a lot of experience in his trade working for very long in conservational studios in Cracow. He was responsible of conservations of many pieces of art.
Studying and work experience in this field made him especially interested in traditional decorative techniques.

The material he uses is wood which he feels comfortable working with.
In his compositions he combines variety of shades and structures of wood. In this way, he creates pictures in which the natural structure of wood plays a significant role.
