As a visual artist, I use photography, installation, video art and performance in my work. In the center of my interests is a man with his questions about identity, life, passing and death. During my doctoral studies, I began to explore the use of photography, installation, performance and video as a therapeutic effect of art on the poseur and the viewer. I believe that art also has a therapeutic meaning for the artist, mainly in the area of existential creative agency. I conducted self-therapy in the series of photographs Family (2018). This is a record of creative portrait photos of my family. My works have been exhibited: in Ekstravagancja Gallery in Sosnowiec, ZPAF Gallery in Warsaw, PH21 Gallery in Budapest and in November 2021 at the OFF Bratislava International Photography Festival in Slovakia, International PhotoSchweiz, Switzerland 2023, Rotterdam Photo, Netherlands 2023.
