There are a number of Mr Korzeniewski's large artworks currently on display in Red Tree Cafe in Bowral as part of his latest exhibition, Places.
Mr Korzeniewski said he had been keen to exhibit in the cafe for a long time.
"It has beautiful lighting and it's a large space so it's very well suited to artwork," he said.
The artist has lived in the Highlands for 25 years and has a wealth of experience in design behind him.
Mr Korzeniewski has taught architecture for more than 40 years with roles at the University of Sydney, University of Newcastle and the University of New South Wales.
He has been exhibiting his paintings and drawings for 30 years throughout Sydney and NSW and aims to produce "good work."
The pieces in his current show depict places from the Highlands to the coast, a region the artist described as a "magnificent landscape in this part of NSW."
"Some of the places include Carrington Falls, Kangaroo Valley and Morton National Park," he said.
The pieces vary in medium and include pastel and lithograph works as well as oil on canvas and even some Chinese ink.
Mr Korzeniewski is also a sculptor and features three cast bronze works in Red Tree Cafe, Bronze 'Bird', Duo and Crouching Woman 2.
Owner of Red Tree Cafe Duncan Hill said his cafe featured a different artist's work every second month.
"They're all local artists, and have been really well received and popular," he said.
Mr Hill said the landscape works of the Places exhibition were commented upon by patrons of the cafe as they were "of the surrounding district."
"There have been comments in particular about the landscapes around Morton National Park as it's looking back from Tallong, which is an unusual aspect to view it from," he said.
"Usually it's seen from Fitzroy Falls."
Mr Korzeniewski's paintings are included in private collections all over the world, in Australia, Holland, Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Taiwan, USA, Malaysia and China.
To see the impressive pieces of art visit Red Tree Cafe before June 30. The cafe is open seven days a week from 7am to 4pm.
