A graduate of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at the Cracow University of Technology, he received a diploma with accreditation from the Royal Institute of British Architects. In 2003 he studied at the Faculty of Art and Architecture, University of Tennessee, international exchange program. He deals with painting, graphics and design. He also organizes artistic and cultural projects such as open-air events, workshops, exhibitions and live painting. Currently he lives in Warsaw, Poland.

Through many years of search and confrontation of various aesthetics, the artist has worked out a way of depicting the present day, reflecting its rioting, overload of messages and aggressiveness. The artist perceives today's world through the prism of data accumulation, informational noise and content noise. He puts them into an extremely simple and accurate form: the use of acrylic paint and the edges of a putty knife, which geometrizes, but also thickens, the presented reality. The point of view becomes at the same time a technique, and thus the presented image turns out to be as important as the creative process and the final materiality of the work. J. In a creative way it also refers to automation, 3D printing, mechanization. The traditional painting gesture is replaced by almost artisanal poetics: applying successive fibres of paint, "producing" its bundles and weaving them into new matrices of meaning.
