About me
My Story
I was born on October 30, 1992 in Lodz, Poland as son of an architect and metalworking engineer as the second of four children.
I remember like if it was today, when I was a few years old I drew a house and my cousin drew the side walls in perspective. It was the moment when drawing really caught me. I was designing cars in three dimensions. At the age of 6, I started regular art classes. In junior high school, I was creating three-dimensional graffiti.
I graduated with honors in Graphic Design from the Secondary School of Art. After placing 5th in a national review of art schools, I was granted direct admission to all fine arts academies in Poland, bypassing the usual entrance exams. I went on to study painting in both Lodz and Cracow.
As one of the few two-time recipients of the prestigious Minister of Culture and National Heritage scholarship, I was recognized for my artistic achievements on both national and international levels.
While living in Warsaw, I founded a 3D design studio and began teaching yoga—an integral part of my life and practice. You can explore my yoga journey at silayog.com . Later, I managed two yoga studios in Kraków before traveling to India and Nepal to deepen my experience (I did it twice)
Currently I live in the Netherlands.
My Skills
Since 2014, my spatial imagination and understanding of human anatomy have allowed me to construct fully imagined human figures in my paintings—without relying on direct references.
Today, to support this process and improve the final result, I often use 3D graphic software to design my compositions. I continue to develop a detailed 3D model of the human body, which will help me depict imagined figures with greater anatomical precision.
I usually work on paintings for about 3 months. I design for two months and paint the final canvas for one month.
I always prepare my own linien canvas with a original vegan recipe. The primer is very important to the end result and I mix it myself. I only use the best very expensive paints, brushes and media. You can be sure about the best quality.
I am also fluent in design and 3D printing, though unfortunately, I don’t currently own a printer. It will be my next investment. I plan to print surreal sculptures and functional objects. Feel free to take a look at my previous projects.
