ABOUT - Kamila Mlynarczyk

Kamila is an Ontario-based artist. She made a name for herself with her horror-inspired art dolls. Her fresh, if gruesome, creations have been showcased internationally and she has garnered a sizeable online following. Kamila has always worked in various mediums, but over the past five years she has been what she terms “relearning how to draw” and drawing relentlessly. I can be myself when everyone I know is dead… follows her personal and public (through her online presence) journey from art dolls through re-learning how to draw, to absurd character studies, to fully realized story-scenes.

Much of her inspiration comes from strange websites, good books, the horror that is the real world, images relevant to her life and memories. She strives to depict the most terrible things in a sympathetic light, and in that way they become more beautiful than reality, more light-hearted than realistically possible, and through their relatability they gain a sense of catharsis.
