Piotr Naliwajko was born in Poland in 1960. He graduated from the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts in 1984.

With two colleagues from the Academy, he founded the famed “Group of Three”, who exhibited their work on the sides of trolleys, in prisons, and in churches. The group, led by the wildly outspoken Naliwajko, brought lush, Renaissance-inspired work, injected with modern political commentary, to the masses. Their guerrilla “exhibitions” and “happenings” generated tremendous acclaim and controversy and were attended by up to ten thousand people. The attention eventually resulted in two documentary films being made about Naliwajko and his colleagues, “The Pretentious Trio” and “Brothers”.
