CV

Kamila Śladowska (she/her) Kamila Śladowska (she/her) is a visual artist born in 1996 in Warsaw, who works with various media, mainly focusing on painting. For the past four years she has been living in Helsinki, Finland and since the end of 2024 she moved back to Warsaw, Poland and established a painting school Malatorium. Being raised in anthropocene, the artist tries to learn about painting from more-than-humans. She researches around topics of diversity and cultural anthropology in the context of post-humanism. Her creation is associated with ecosexuality or eco-feminism. Sladowska investigates the relationship of humans and ecosytems, trying to create a utopian culture of regeneration. Inspired by hydrofeminism, in the past years she has been working on interconnected immersive painting ecosystems. She makes effort to work with recycled materials or using slow techniques in order to reduce the harmful impact of painting. In 2024 Kamila Śladowska joined Chwaściarnia art collective.  Her work has been shown in multiple countries in Europe (including for example Biennial of Palermo, Kibla Art Center in Maribor, STØND LEEG festival in Antwerp, Asbestos Art Space in Helsinki, Sinfonia Varsovia in Warsaw or In Feminis Veritas in Berlin).
