Who am I?
That is really difficult question to answer in a few words. By education, I am a graphic artist, printmaker, art teacher and English philologist. By profession, I am a graphic designer, website designer and photographer as well. By passion, I am a fine art photographer shooting landscapes, trees and gardens. Whoever I am now, I have always been extremely hungry of knowledge. Basically, it has been knowledge of human nature and identity, the knowledge of sources of creativity in a human being and all the things that make us people as we are. Self-development, curiosity, being true to myself is my priority.
My life and professional experience is broad and diverse. For many years, I have worked as an Art teacher at various school levels and at fine art school as well. I have also worked as an English teacher, being a member of the A-level examination committee. I left teaching profession in 2007 as I felt I got stuck in too much paper work for a creative soul I am. My graphic artist's career and design work started over 20 years ago, right after graduation from the university. I took deeper interest in photography in 2009, since then I have been learning new things about the photographic profession, making this my daily routine.
My partner and me run ABREN Real Estate company. I am responsible for its marketing & branding issues and being also a creative graphic designer in DEA Design, the company’s Ads & Design Studio. For more about me, my exhibitions, awards and publications, please visit my Fine Art Photography portfolio.

Hi,
On a professional level, I have always been interested in architecture, buildings and working with people. Combining all the three fields of interest led me to Social Sciences and Local Government Administration studies followed by work in Grudziadz, my hometown local governement. I have spent many years working in various kinds of services for people. I even run my own graphic design studio in a time, when the design work was made exclusively by hand. Later on, I did postgraduate studies to obtain the real estate broker licence and set my own real estate agency. In my private life I have been really passionate about nature, plants and animals. This passion was born in my childhood, when each Summer I used to visit my grandparents living in the countryside, helping them with a farm work.
My interest in photography stems from a real estate profession and has developed gradually. At first, I did a lot of shots of old architecture, but in the course of time, I started to shoot landscape, botanic gardens and city gardens as well. Botanic Gardens in particular have unique energy and it along with beautiful plants is what attracts me and my partner most to these places.
In 2008 I have set ABREN Real Estate and then, 2 years later, my partner and me extended our company's services with custom graphic and website design services dedicated primarily to solo entrepreneurs, artists and photographers. For more about me, please follow my social profiles.
