About Me
I come from Gdańsk, while my family roots connect me with Wrocław — a city that has always felt close to me in a personal way. It was here that I graduated in 2008 from the Faculty of Ceramics and Glass at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design, specialising in Design. My approach to sculpture was shaped under the guidance of Professor Przemysław Lasak, developing a practice grounded in attentiveness to material, form and process.
For over a decade, I have been creating original sculptures that exist within Wrocław’s urban space — including the Wrocław Dwarfs, which have become part of the everyday life of its residents. In parallel, I develop similar sculptural trails in several other Polish cities.
I realise projects on various scales, ranging from intimate forms to sacred and monumental sculptures. My work includes, among others, figures of saints commissioned by the Poor Clare Monastery in Kłodzko, as well as sculptures created for a Buddhist temple in Darnków.
In my practice, I combine traditional sculptural techniques with experience gained through the creation of hundreds of works. Each project is approached individually — rooted in the context of its place — allowing the final form to exist in harmony with the space it inhabits. Each project begins as my own concept, while its realisation is carried out in collaboration with our studio team and trusted craftsmen.
Out of human stories and the stillness of the forest, Wrocław dwarfs take shape…
DWARFS FROM THE FOREST STUDIO
At a certain point in my life, the path led me beyond the city and closer to nature. My dwarf studio moved there as well. Today it is set among mountains, forests and former mines — places long associated with the presence of these small beings.
During walks through forest paths and moments of quiet, I sometimes feel as if I glimpse their world — hidden just beside our own. These brief, fleeting moments often become the beginning of new sculptural stories.
For me, creating dwarfs is not only about shaping form, but also about encounters with people and their stories — about places, passions and everyday life. Each sculpture becomes a meeting point of two worlds — the urban and the natural, the human and the dwarfish.
WHY DWARFS
We encounter them at every turn. They emerge from places and from the history of the people who shape them. At this intimate scale, it becomes easier to speak about things that matter without a monumental gesture, while keeping a sense of positive energy that gives urban space a more personal dimension.
Dwarfs may be small in scale, yet what they convey can be meaningful. They tell stories with lightness — suggestively and with feeling.
It is the aura of magic and simplicity embodied in these figures, together with the possibility of giving each of them an individual character, that has drawn me back to the world of dwarfs for many years.
