As a young child, I had a close encounter with a rooster. I was playing in a field and deliberately annoyed a rooster. He became angry and chased me around the field; it was traumatic. Since then, I freeze with fear every time I see a rooster, and it has often appeared in my dreams in different forms and shapes. I decided to paint the rooster in an attempt to cure myself. My initial painting evolved into a series of roosters; as contemporary warriors with their own characters and narratives. They became figures of my expressions and inspirations: of our striving to overcome traumas, weaknesses, addictions, the torment of choices and the battle for happiness. The rooster is a symbol of the fight and of warrior-hood. In my works, my roosters are in a fight to find a compromise with themselves; and as modern day warriors they battle against the difficulties of life. ‘Cocky leader’ and ‘Warrior Parade’ are strong and expressive: I used a lot of lines so to escalate the expression of anger or power. As for ‘White Phoenix’ and ‘Helios’ there is more harmony and calmness. The painting that began the series; ‘The Awakening of the Warrior’, is an attempt by the flightless rooster to fly, which resulted in a fiasco. However, it is the beginning of his journey into the light and discovery

The subject matter of my works, I would like to treat openly. This means that I can follow any theme that is concerning me at any time. Responding to my mood and visualising my thoughts; my work is a form of comment on my everyday life. My artwork is built up with my reflections and is an intrinsic extension of my personality. Sometimes it is impulsive where I am inspired by something, maybe a motive or a colour. Often I like to touch the philosophical or historical aspect of a subject and express this through colour and shape. Sometimes the focus of my works may have strong connotations with my dreams, or other times I become interested in looking for connection between human-being’s and nature and how we are connected with the world; our travels and journey’s portrayed through myriads of mirrors. My painting is a form of connection with reality where I am allowed to be irrational. Ultimately they are my reflections about life. The character of my work is diverse and multi levelled. On the edge of realism and abstraction it depicts motives from the Polish landscapes, where I was born and grew up, Italian boldness and expression where I spent some important moments in my life and finally my life in the UK with inspirations of the landscape and people that surround me here in East Sussex. Represented in many forms it may be pure landscape, landscape with some figures, it may be a sequence of studies or perhaps a large scale exploration of animals. I normally work on a series. Often I will start more than one painting at the same time. This way I can see my concept developing on a range surfaces, these offering different possibilities. I can then see and think more in depth about the whole series. It feels a bit like a movie, I follow the atmosphere and the mode of characters. I like to explore the energy of the subject I am working on. I use variety of mediums to create my work. Mostly I work on canvas, using acrylic paints and oils or oil sticks, however in the past I often used watercolours, chalk, charcoal, gouache. Drawing is also very important to me. It bonds with my character and is intertwined with my painting. I like to build up layers in the painting by starting with water spray and painting with large brush strokes. When the paint starts to drip, I then shape the movement of the composition; this then evolves into shapes and figures. Sometimes I will leave the work for months or years and then after time I will return to it.
