Piotr Kukla - diploma in sculpture under the direction of Prof. Janina Jeleńska-Papp - Art Institute of the Pedagogical Academy in Cracow. Since graduation, he has been actively involved in fine art and activities related to various aspects of art. In the 1990s, he developed his own formula of artistic expression by creating so-called "art-like objects." Since 1997, he has been working at Tarnów's BWA as head of the Exhibition Organization Department; in addition to his substantive and curatorial work, he is involved in the arrangement and technical realization of contemporary art exhibitions. His work is difficult to define, for he works under many artistic pseudonyms in extremely different fields. Winner of numerous awards and prizes. Between 1986 and 2022 he took part in dozens of exhibitions and collective projects, and realized more than a dozen individual presentations (Poland, Germany, Austria). Works in private collections and state institutions.
