In 1907, he immigrated with his mother and stepfather to Chicago, a city poised to become both a crucible and a catalyst for his unique aesthetic development. While briefly enrolled at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Szukalski largely remained self-taught, forging an intensely personal style that defied easy categorization. Following a return to Poland in the 1930s—a journey tragically interrupted by the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent loss of much of his early work—he eventually settled in California, where he lived a largely reclusive life.
