From a modest family, he studied philosophy with Jean Grenier, and then spent some time inthe studio of Germaine Richier during the post WWI period. Settled in the parisian suburbs since the end of the 1950's, Ladislas Kijno multiplied over time his paint vaporisations and imposed himself as one of the masters of the technique known as "froissage" (crumpling).
