An artist whose works oscillate between sculpture, science and architecture. In his almost thirty-year-long artistic activity, he concentrates on the human body. Kozakiewicz integrates it with the surrounding world in sculptures, environmental actions, architectural schemes and projects involving landscape shaping, which he executes in Poland and Europe.  

His artistic and architectural designs draw on extremely versatile inspirations, such as genetics, physics, astronomy, and modern thinking about ecology and ancient cosmology. Abandoning the sense of certainty offered by science, Kozakiewicz presents poetic research into the nature of incarnate beings.  

The artist received a distinction in the competition for the Centre of Contemporary Art ‘Znaki Czasu’ design in Toruń (2004). In 2005, he won the international competition for the design of the Reconciliation Park near the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, and in 2006, he represented Poland at the 10th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice.
