Biography
Graduated from the sculpture department of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 1985. In the 1980s, the author of figurative sculptures associated with the current of neo-expressionism. Since the early 1990s, he has been creating minimalist sculptural compositions using simple materials such as raw stone, wood, salt, ash and organic substances. The main theme of Bałka's sculptures and compositions is the human body and its accompanying "everyday" objects and substances, as well as the memory associated with the body. There are allusions to transience in his work, and the subject of the Holocaust is also important.
