Jacek shares his time between London and the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney, Australia. He originally trained and worked internationally as a marine biologist, is a keen SCUBA diver and international traveller, and draws upon these experiences to inform his practice.
Since graduating in 2006 from the National Art School in Sydney, he has exhibited his large-scale outdoor sculptures and smaller, intimate indoor pieces in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the UK and in the New South Wales Hunter Valley, Australia.
He was a finalist in the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize in 2010, the Noosa Travelling Scholarship 2011 and the Willoughby Sculpture Prize 2011. His work is in private collections in Australia and the UK.
