He studied drawing and painting at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee, where he built a solid foundation in traditional artistic techniques while developing an interest in color, abstraction, and pattern. After graduating, he worked in an independent art studio for several years. The experience he gained in this creative environment encouraged him to experiment and helped him develop his own visual style. Later, he traveled extensively, drawing inspiration from diverse landscapes, cultures, and cities—experiences that continue to influence the rhythm and structure of his work to this day. This artistic journey ultimately led him to Kraków, where he currently lives and works, and where his most recent solo exhibition took place last year. The paintings in the “Maps” series are a dynamic exploration of the transit and subway systems of contemporary metropolises around the world. In them, the artist examines the complex networks that shape urban movement and human connections. Through an abstract approach and the fragmentation of transit routes, the series reveals the intricate patterns and rhythms embedded in the fabric of every city, transforming functional diagrams into fascinating visual art. At the heart of this collection is a focus on the interplay of color and form. Organic lines intertwine here with geometric precision, creating shimmering paths that pulsate with subtle complexity and bold intensity. Each composition aims to evoke the unique mood, energy, and identity of a given place, capturing not only the physical landscape but also the spirit of movement, flow, and cultural memory. Through the harmony between abstraction and representational elements, the series of maps offers viewers a mesmerizing experience—an invitation to discover the beauty hidden in everyday life. These multi-layered works encourage deeper reflection on the relationships between people, space, and the invisible threads that connect them, revealing the extraordinary side of the familiar.
