Tadeusz was born in Dortmund. He started his artistic training at the local ‘Werkkunstschule’ in 1960, where he attended the class of Gustav Deppe (1913-1999). He continued his studies under Gerhard Hoehme (1920-1989) and Joseph Fassbender (1903-1974) at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. In the end, Tadeusz graduated as a master student of Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) in 1966.
