After studying architecture in Szczecin and Warsaw, he devoted himself exclusively to painting beginning in 1960. His cityscapes in particular—often inspired by Italian locations—are characterized by densely packed buildings, interlocking perspectives, and intense colors. He also created numerous still lifes featuring Cubist-like forms. His works have been exhibited internationally, including at the Palazzo Braschi in Rome in 1976 and at the National Museum in Szczecin in 1977.
