Holstein was born in Enschede in Twente. He studied at the Cooper Union Art School in New York from 1954 to 1957. Holstein became known for his coloured etchings. He exhibited his work at home and abroad, made artist's books and published his drawings in the weekly magazine Vrij Nederland. Pieter Holstein makes illustrative, figurative representations, with interiors, landscapes, letters and symbols in sometimes enigmatic combinations. Holstein's coloured etchings in a pseudo-clumsy line sometimes have an absurdist representation and provide ironic commentary on art and perception with the help of text and image. His paintings sometimes resemble children's drawings in colouring books or cartoons. Holstein makes paintings with dreamlike landscapes.
