Stańczak graduated from the Antoni Kenar High School of Plastic Arts in Zakopane. From 1988 to 1993 he studied at the Faculty of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he obtained his diploma from the workshop of Professor Grzegorz Kowalski. Between 1994–1997 he had a few individual exhibitions (for example, at the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle and the State Art Gallery in Sopot). He later disappeared from the institutional art circuit for many years. Stańczak’s works can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle. In 2019 Stańczak represented Poland at the 58th International Art Exhibition — la Biennale di Venezia.
