His foundation promotes Polish contemporary art internationally, showcasing artists at events like the Venice Biennale. The foundation's latest exhibition highlights Tadeusz Kantor's work and aims to enhance Poland's cultural reputation globally. Additionally, the Starak family is revitalizing a historic estate near Warsaw to build a modern art museum, marking a significant private initiative in Polish cultural philanthropy.
