DIDACTICS PUBLICATIONS AND SCIENCE

Since 1999 my work also consisted of didactic activities at the Pedagogy and Psychology Department of UMCS, specialization: animator and culture manager, and then at the Higher School of Communication and Social Media in Warsaw in range of Internet creation. My scientific research work is devoted to public art, in particular sculpting, which is my passion and an element of my life. I am fascinated with the social, pedagogical and philosophical aspect of spatial creation. In my research, I am fascinated by the space perception determinants that influence human creation and cultural significance of spatial form.
