Kamil Swiatek

Artist member since 2019
Toronto, Ontario

Kamil Swiatek is a multi-disciplinary artist from Toronto, Ontario who has been painting since the late 1990s. Swiatek explores the theme of identity through the subconscious mind as an internal landscape. Painting, photography, drawing, sculpting, writing short stories, poetry and film help him understand and examine the inner workings of the subconscious.

He graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting as well as a minor in Photography from the Ontario College of Art and Design University. He has shown his work in local galleries in Toronto and the surrounding areas.
