Piotr graduated from the Lodz Academy of Fine Art, and did whatever jobs offered to him that involved painting: shop signs, murals, and theatre sets. When there weren’t painting jobs Piotr worked at casual jobs, including being a grill chef, to leave himself free should any painting jobs come up.

He painted the backdrop for Oscar winning film "Peter and the Wolf". Following this he was appointed Head of Painting Animation on Dorota Kobiela’s short film, "The Little Postman".
