About me

Born in 1988 in Bytom, lives and works in Katowice. In his work, he studies human nature in a metaphysical context. Showing the beauty and mystery of Nature, it shows man as a part of this incomprehensible and inexhaustible environment in which he finds himself, as well as the fact that he is inseparably connected with it. Both reality and man himself resonate with each other and leave a mark in a given space and place. The ontological dimension of the essence prompts us to ask questions about the non-objectivity of an individual, or rather his spiritual attribute, his internal construction, his creation.

As Tertullian, a Latin theologian from North Africa, used to say: 'I believe because it is absurd.' but by knowing the nature of God, it ceases to be so absurd, but becomes true. Faith is a choice. Sometimes we choose to believe because of what we see, and sometimes in spite of it. We live in a time where faith seems to be losing its meaning. We then have two options, to leave our faith or to remember who God is.
