About
Visual artist currently working in The Netherlands and Poland. Nature is rooted at the core of Kamila’s creative inspiration as she works with subjects such as ephemerality, decay, tranquillity, folk traditions and timeless plants’ symbolism. Her materials of choice are linens and cotton that serve perfectly the natural pigments, oil paints and dying the textiles. Her work encourages viewers to re-consider the relationship between nature and the painting medium.
Her practice is founded on the curiosity in the surroundings. She collects a range of objects, primarily from nature, such as stones, seeds, shells, plants, and flowers to dry as a starting point of the creative process. Kamila strongly believes epiphanies can appear hidden in the most ordinary moments, textures, colours, and fragrances.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Discovering hidden in the daylight flowers blooming in the soil full of treasures and life, calms the mind of the one who wondered this way. The tactility and the fragrance are easily recognisable and recalled. Each flower carries a different meaning and perhaps a treasure of one's own memories.
