The artist lives and works in his native village of Valyla in the Bialystok region. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. He received his diploma in 1984 in the studio of Prof. T. Dominik. Beginning with a solo exhibition at the Galleria del Cavallino in Venice, the interest in the artist's work by art dealers and collectors from Europe and the USA continues. As early as 1988, Tarasewicz's works were presented at the Venice Biennale at the Aperto`88 exhibition. He has won many awards, including the "Jan Cybis", the "Nowosielski Prize". The artist's early paintings resembled landscapes, from which he gradually eliminated "unnecessary" elements, proposing a very personal version of nature. In the works of recent years, he breaks the formal limitations of painting to a space stretched on a canvas frame. He often takes the opportunity to go beyond the stretcher frame.
