About
‚Creating is as natural to me as the desire to surround the objects around me with positive sounds is natural. I pay a lot of attention to color combinations and shape analysis in the context of their mutual interactions. For me, design means carrying art with you always. /KST/

Opinion about Kamila Tkaczyk’s work
‚Mrs. Kamila Tkaczyk attended the Post-Secondary Art School where I conducted art classes in the 1990s. My subject was about the so-called pure art style and design. In other words, it was about graphic design growing out of good professional art. Mrs. Kamila, as an outstanding student and then graduate, adopted the difficult but also very ambitious principle that any design based on one’s own work will be better than design without personal artistic experience. She remains faithful to this principle to this day. Someone will say that this is a fragmentation of talent, but it is the opposite. If young talented artists undertake difficult design tasks, nothing can replace their own, personal creative experiences. At each inauguration of the academic year of the Academy of Fine Arts, the magnificence of the Rector, who is a designer from the Faculty of Design, emphasizes that painting, sculpture and graphics are still the leading, and not only the first, fields of visual arts. Well, the great passion for painting, youth and discipline at work that characterize Mrs. Kamila Tkaczyk allow her to be included in the group of the so-called ‚Titans’ or ‚Multi-instrumentalists’ of art, because only the most diligent and bravest can achieve success simultaneously in two, although related, but different fields. The pursuit of financial success often denies young designers from advertising agencies the right to their own artistic expression. Ms. Kamila, as an ambitious boss, does not give up on exciting design challenges and reserves this right for herself, and her art is even more deserving of recognition.’

„Kamila Tkaczyk – the secret of success”
‚Kamila Tkaczyk belongs to the generation of young visual artists. Many of her peers had been drawing and painting since childhood. Childhood and adolescent passions end or are replaced by others. Interests change too easily and too often. The fact that Kamila Tkaczyk grew up in an artistic family probably helped that she neither gave up nor stopped drawing with pastels. There is no secret. If you want to be good in any field, train for a dozen or so years. Most musicians do it, but after these years they only maintain or develop their level. Championships are generally not lost voluntarily. It is no wonder that Ms. Kamila’s fantastic or approaching abstract compositions, fantastic and extremely advanced, full of natural beauty, bring to mind associations with such masters as Joan Miro or Maria Jaremianka. High-level decorativeness cannot be a disadvantage, and we have evidence of this in Secession and Art Deco – styles that, maturing mainly outside Poland, influenced our outstanding creators, and the masterpieces representing this style are so creative that their modernity becomes timeless. . I wish Mrs. Kamila Tkaczyk to continue to carefully maintain her passion, beauty is needed by everyone.’
