"It was a great pleasure working with Darek.His sheer artistic talent brought ideas to cinematic life, and invigorated the project with excitement. He has a great eye for atmosphere and light; form and stunning compositions. He can quickly capture the mood of a piece; the overall dramatic feeling of a world or scene, rendered with a few brush strokes. I love his style, as It allows you to see and feel the end goal - and then build upon his vision with the details and planning. An absolute joy to work with. I would recommend Darek to anyone at an instant. "

"I have had the pleasure of working with Darek on a set of concept art pieces for Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. His work has been a great source of inspiration for the team and it helped me solidify the artistic vision for the content that we were producing. His Environment work for ACS always established a strong and memorable mood. His compositions are dynamic and he creates a good sense of depth in his work by using solid value grouping and paying close attention to scale references."

Executes with precision, efficiency and delivers awesome high quality concepts. Always open to receive feedback, to iterate and improve. His works served as my best visual communication tool to direct and align all my art teams towards hitting my vision as well as motivates them to push the bar higher and higher each day. Above all, the concepts he produced for us on NFS Payback has inspired our teams beyond just the art department, across multiple locations worldwide."
