I was born in Poland in 1958 and decided to move to Canada at the age of 24. I have been painting since I can remember and I remember making my own paints because I couldn't get them in Poland. Lots of my paintings I have left in Poland. I was always encouraged to paint full-time and to open my own gallery. After coming to Canada I started painting on and off to the point where I had enough to feature my collection in Place Des Arts in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. I hate decor paintings. I am influenced very much by Van Gogh, Monet and Dali. I paint what I feel at the time I am painting the piece. All my paintings are very different and designed to wake up hidden emotions in the viewer. There are chances that two people will see something different in the same painting. To the people who are going to buy my pieces, I presume that they will be as special as they are to me.
