In 2003 he graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, at the University of Wrocław, majoring in Mathematics, and in 2008 from the Faculty of Graphics, at the Academy of Arts and Design in Wrocław, majoring in Graphic Design.
In my creative, research and academic work, I focus on relations between art and science. I am mainly interested in the cognitive aspects of perception and visual imagination and the role of art in explaining scientific problems. The multimedia installations I create usually refer to aspects from the field of mathematics and philosophy. To distinguish this type of artistic activity in which the leading role is played by the cognitive and knowledge-creative value of the work, I use the term 'art of cognition'. My research interests include such specific issues as: methodological archetypes in science and art, visual components of cognitive metaphors, analogue and discrete information coding systems.
