One of his only named pieces, “Sadist Corset”(1957) exhibits Beksinski’s wife’s body wrapped in black string. To put simply, Beksinski’s artwork is unsettling to look at. His artwork followed the abstract, surrealism and magic realism art movements while depicting macabre figures and otherworldly architecture and spaces. Beksinski said “ didn’t know could make living painting pictures” until a successful exhibition in Warsaw in 1964 which allowed him to realize his hobbies could become a career. He spent his time after college building up a career in construction – which Beksinski said “ really didn’t enjoy” – while maintaining photography, sculpting and painting as hobbies which relaxed him. In 1952, Beksinski graduated from Cracow University of Technology after studying architecture.
