British pub is much more than just a pump-room of beer, wine or something stronger. British pub is the centre of local community life.

British pub is the centre of local community life. But in recent years the British pub - the famous institution dating back to Roman times, is increasingly under threat of demolition or being converted to another use by large developers.
By painting the picture 'London pub at dusk' I wanted to preserve, even if only on canvas, one of my favorite places in London's Bayswater.
Visually and painterly I wanted to capture the rivalry of two kinds of light: the disappearing daylight, shown in blue tones, and bright, electric light of nightlife painted in white, yellow and gold tones.

I was born in Poland. I was awarded MA Fine Art degree in painting by the Academy of Fine Art in Krakow in 1992. I was a prize winner at Confrontations of young artists of Southern Poland. I was awarded Postgraduate degree in Art and Design in Education by the University of London's Institute of Education in 1997.
My art had been exhibited in Poland, Greece, France and UK. Many of my artworks decorate apartments and private collections in the USA, the UK, Poland, Greece, Spain, Italy and many other countries. Apart from painting I have also produced illustrations to several published books of poems. My drawings have been published in UK national newspaper "The Mail on Sunday".

My artistic credo is to create something that is good and unique. I'm not looking for originality at all costs, but rather to create tensions and emotions in common, everyday themes. When I look at my painting after a few hours of work, there is no place for anxiety and worry in my psyche. 

In 2018, the city of Sanary-sur-mer selected one of my paintings for their annual Hanging Art exhibition. 

In February 2022, the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage awarded me with a prize for creative achievements. Currently, I share my time working between UK and Poland. 

I my case, making art and sharing one's experiences with others is life's ultimate fulfilment.
