Since 1981, he lives and works in New York and collaborates with the biggest American newspapers such as “New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal”, “Washington Post”, “Boston Globe”, “Graphis”, “Print”.
Between 1981 and 1995, he published more than 200 drawings in the “New York Times”. His drawings appear regularly in the Polish newspaper “Rzeczpospolita”.

The K-dron is not only a geometric form, but it is also the illustration of the idea that has long preoccupied the artist, namely, how to illustrate the infinity?
