Wioleta Kamińska is a Polish-born interdisciplinary artist and strategist whose work moves between photography, painting, film, and video, rooted in a single persistent question: what do we miss when we stop truly looking? Walking and paying close attention to the world around her — not the dramatic or the obvious, but the quiet and the overlooked — is central to her practice. No matter the medium, her work is a study in perception and stillness, and an invitation to slow down, reflect, and experience a renewed sense of wonder.

In the summer of 2022, Kamińska traveled to Iceland, where she spent time among glaciers that have been slowly, silently retreating for decades. Standing at the edge of one, surrounded by an expanse of grey-blue-white ice, she felt time suspend entirely. That experience became the seed of Retreating — a series of photographs, paintings, and video landscapes exploring places where stillness and change exist side by side. In June 2026, paintings and photographs from the Retreating series are on view at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.

Kamińska holds an MFA in Design from California College of the Arts and an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Warsaw. She has received Presidential Fellowship Awards from Savannah College of Art and Design for AI Strategy and Digital Leadership and Ethics of AI, and holds certifications in AI ethics from Cornell University and the London School of Economics. She was selected for the Ethics, Technology and Public Policy for Practitioners program at Stanford University in 2026. Her work has been shown internationally, and the Retreating series has been exhibited at Telfair Museums' Jepson Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the ArtFields Festival, and Mayo Clinic, among other venues.
