Painter, sculptor, photographer, draughtsman, computer graphic designer, architect. From 1947 to 1952 he studied at the Faculty of Architecture at the Cracow University of Technology. For the next few years he worked in the profession. At that time he became interested in artistic photography, and also began his first attempts at drawing and painting. In 1955, he returned to his family home in Sanok. He was a self-taught artist. He began his artistic activity with photograms and photomontages, later creating works on the borderline of painting and sculpture and drawing. Since the mid-1970s, Beksinski dealt almost exclusively with oil painting, using a technique peculiar to himself. Years later, he called this period (until the early 1980s) "the fantastic period." In 1977 he left Sanok and moved permanently to Warsaw. He established contact with the Parisian marchand Piotr Dmochowski. He exhibited in France, Germany and almost all important centers in Poland. In 1999, the Historical Museum prepared the largest retrospective exhibition of the artist at the castle in Sanok.
