Currently I reside in Maspeth, New York, but originally I am from Poland. Ever since my youth I have had a profound interest in carpentry. The job of designing and creating all sorts of finished products from wood gave me a feeling of great satisfaction and fascination. When I was 15, I first encountered the style of marquetry. My love for that form of art and, what I quickly discovered, great skill in the field, that I had, opened up a whole new world to me, one which I knew I had to explore.

After my arrival to the United States, I solidified my mastery in the techniques and technology of carpentry.
My access to an endless source of all sorts of exotic wood deepened my interest and skill of marquetry.
All my marquetry is hand-made. I use a natural beauty of wood where each part of veneer differs from another. The outcomes are astonishing and unique. I used knives to cut the veneers from true and natural veneer to shape, giving you a beautiful and unique piece of art. Each artwork takes weeks, usually months to complete. Consequently they are impossible to mass-produce. Generally, a custom piece takes between one to a few months depending on its size and detail.
