My practice brings art, science, technology and philosophy into dialogue. Through holographic sculptures, moving images and immersive installations, I explore the relationships between the human body, nature and civilisation.
Rooted particularly in the relationship between art and medicine, my work is inspired by the understanding that humans are fundamentally biological beings. Drawing from medical imagery and organic forms, I explore the body as a living, vulnerable system, reflecting on fragility, resilience and the structures that sustain life.
ABOUT ME
I am a British visual artist and curator based in London. Born in Poland in 1984, my practice has evolved through photography, animation and interdisciplinary research.
I began exploring art and medicine at Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2010, completing an MA in Image and Communication in 2011 under the mentorship of Nigel Perkins.
As the founder of Gabriel Fine Arts, I have spent over a decade supporting international artists and curating exhibitions that encourage cultural exchange. Across my artistic and curatorial practice, I bring people, ideas and disciplines together.
BONES and CIVILISATION
Two interconnected series form the focus of my current work.
BONES explores the body’s structure, resilience and vulnerability, with a particular interest in osteoporosis and women’s health. The series was inspired by my friend Debra Sales Tiffin’s experience of discovering she had osteoporosis, prompting us to raise awareness of the condition through art. Combining medical imaging, AI, animation and holographic display technology, I bring skeletal structures into dialogue with flowers, bamboo and imagined landscapes. The works move between microscopic and cosmic scales, revealing visual connections across natural systems.
CIVILISATION extends this investigation from the architecture of the body to the structures created by humanity. Cities, nature and cultural memory converge in holographic compositions exploring our relationship with the built environment, technology and possible futures.
Conceived as sculptural works in light and motion, these pieces bring a changing visual presence to the spaces they inhabit.
SELECTED PRESENTATIONS
BONES has been exhibited twice in 2026 in collaboration with Hilton. In September 2026, BONES - Garden of Eden was presented at Venture Café London’s Breaking Barriers: Scaling Women’s Health, delivered in partnership with Nexus and powered by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA).
Selected holographic works from CIVILISATION will be presented at a private event at Pan Pacific London in December 2026.
In 2024, Lucid Dreams, my collaborative installation with Fabrizio Smeraldi, was presented in Personal Structures, organised by the European Cultural Centre Italy at Palazzo Bembo during the Venice Biennale. The installation incorporated paintings from Arousal of the Kundalini by artist, curator and writer Melissa Budasz (Masked Sphinx).
Holographic display technology is supplied by HYPERVSN.

ART RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
Art and medicine
My early collaborative work Catharsis, created with sound artist Manabu Shimada, brought together animation, sonic art and biomedical research within an immersive installation.
Since 2012, I have collaborated with computer scientist Fabrizio Smeraldi on projects exploring art, health and wellbeing. Our installations combine artistic expression, medical science, artificial intelligence and interactive technologies, inviting audiences to reflect on the body, perception and human experience.
Our work has been presented at exhibitions and science festivals across London, including projects with Queen Mary University of London and charitable initiatives with Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity. One installation was reviewed in The Pharmaceutical Journal, published by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
My wider research interests include visual perception, light and colour, symbolism, philosophy and cultural heritage. I serve as an Advocate for Global Tech Advocates (GTA) and Tech London Advocates (TLA).
