Born in Poznan, Poland on May 16 1963 into a family of physicians, Marek’s first career was a medical one. To respect his father’s wishes he trained as a physician before dedicating himself to the work he believes he was born to do. In 1989 he became qualified as a medical doctor. Although he deeply loved his native land and its rich artistic culture, he and his wife Hanna (also a physician), decided to immigrate to Spain where they settled in Barcelona. They both hoped to find a more relaxed cultural atmosphere there.
While in Barcelona Marek decided to pursue his real passion, jewellery making.
He was apprenticed as a stone setter and for two years he learned the jeweller’s craft from some of Barcelona’s best craftsman.
The spirit of adventure, love of natural splendor and the desire for even more personal freedom induced Marek and Hanna to immigrate to Vancouver in 1991.
Since that time Marek has continued to develop and deepen his artistic skills and craftsmanship as he expresses his strengths in the beauty, diversity and ingenuity of his totally unique work as a jeweller and craftsman of exquisite art pieces.
Accordingly, Marek has received recognition in several International competitions for jewellery making, and he has developed a strong following among many of Vancouver’s connoisseurs of fine jewellery and precious art.
Designing & making exquisite jewellery and precious art objects comes naturally to Marek who demonstrates a talent for creating original pieces . Truly remarkable, imaginative and superbly hand-made, these pieces reflect a passion for creating timeless works of art appreciated by those who seek quality and uniqueness in their selection of art and jewellery.
