Piotr Staskiewicz was born in Poland in 1954.

From the age of 15, he attended the Lyceum of Fine Arts, graduating from the National School of Fine Arts in Gdansk in 1981.

He worked relentlessly on techniques and styles to arrive at what became his signature - lyrical abstraction, always in dialogue with reality.

After graduating, he joined the Faculty of Visual Arts at Nicolas Copernicus University in Torun as an assistant professor in a painting studio. He was immediately moved by the pedagogical aspect of his experience with students.
