Portrait of Peter Jaworowski

The.HEJZ/ðə heɪz/

My name is Peter Jaworowski, and I’ve been working with pixels since 2004 as The Hejz. I’m based in Warsaw, and for years, I focused on making beautiful things: clean, polished, and crafted with care.

This was the kind of work that wins awards, helps sell products, and looks great in presentations. But after twenty years of chasing perfection, something changed. I got tired of making things just to look pretty, smooth, or pleasing.

Now, I’m drawn to the noise, the glitches, the distortion, and the raw edges that make you stop and wonder what you’re looking at. Ugly feels honest, and broken feels real. That’s where I am now, somewhere between street sounds and screen light, where beauty gets messy, and meaning comes at you from the side.
