Born in Barszczowice near Lwów (modern Lviv, then in Austro-Hungarian Galicia), Cieczkiewicz graduated from a gymnasium in Nowy Sącz and in 1887 joined the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts.{{sfn|DESA|p=1}} There he studied painting under the tutelage of Florian Cynk, Władysław Łuszczkiewicz and Leon Wyczółkowski,{{sfn|DESA|p=1}} as well as Jan Matejko and Teodor Axentowicz.{{sfn|Aleksander|pp=65-67}} He graduated in 1898,{{sfn|DESA|p=1}} along his better-known colleagues: Józef Mehoffer, Stanisław Wyspiański, Xawery Dunikowski and Wojciech Weiss.{{sfn|Leśniak & Leśniak|p=53}} Although a skilled painter, his personal situation prevented him from devoting his life solely to art.
