Fine Art nominee

The ‘Written in the Sand’ series consists of photographs taken early in the morning along Aldinga Beach in South Australia. These images, shaped by the forces of nature, appeared before me unexpectedly and immediately captivated my attention. Their simple beauty, characterised by delicate forms and gentle tones, resembled subtle pencil drawings—poetry rendered in a visual form.
I returned to the same spot several times, hoping to witness this beauty again. Yet, as Heraclitus reminds us, “No man ever steps in the same river twice.”

I was born in in Krosno, Poland in 1960. My photographic adventure extends over 40 years, beginning with the black and white photography and experimental art works conducted during my study in Kraków. Together with my brother Zbigniew, I formed Micro-Macro art group exploring connections between art and science.
In 1992 I settled down in Australia, where I exhibited my works in Melbourne where I lived until 2002, and in Adelaide where I reside currently. I’m member of the Royal South Australian Society of Arts, recent finalist of art competitions including Solar Art Prize, Abstract Prize Biennale, Kennedy – Nyland Prize. I received Commended Award in the Mono Awards 2023 and Honourable Mention in the Monochrome Photography Awards 2023 (Professional Fine Art Category).
