				He is a painter and a computer graphic artist. A graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts at Gdansk, Poland, in 1979. Since 1986 he has lived and worked in Denmark. He paints, draws and creates computer graphics. His works were exhibited in numerous European countries. He co-operates with several galleries. "My paintings are an attempt to depict ourselves, our imperfections, drolleries, anxieties etc. These miscellaneous structures, machines and devices which I paint are, according to me, such witnesses of our existence"... My interest in computer and creating art by means of computer techniques began with the purchase of my first computer, Macintosh Performa 400, in 1994. Since then the computer, along with the brush, became a significant tool in the process of creating new pictures. Despite certain formal similarities, computer works are not an artistic extension of my paintings, or the other way round. To work with miscellaneous media may enrich the language of transmitting one’s thoughts and add freshness to the outlook at one’s own art. That is the exact reason for which I have taken interest in computer graphics." zakosmala@mac.com
