Enso-inspired abstract paintings
‘The Cosmos Within’ exhibition will be exploring the idea that the universe exists not only around us, but also within us and therefore reconnecting visitors to themselves, others and the world. The interdisciplinary exhibition will feature Enso-inspired abstract paintings and contemporary calligraphies, performance video and photographs as well as the Japanese brush used during the performances as a site installation in the gallery.
There will be a series of workshops running at The Firepit Gallery – all designed to help visitors connect with their inner cosmos. This will include breathwork and creative art sessions. These will be free or donation-based. Keep an eye on The Firepit Gallery website for more details on how to book.
Kamila is a Polish-British interdisciplinary artist working across performance (physical theatre, aerial dance, live art), abstract painting and Zen calligraphy.
Inspired by transformative journeys to Japan in 2018 and 2019, Kamila studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and developed a Zen calligraphy practice centred on the meditative Enso circle. Alongside this, she trained in circus arts, integrating movement and aerial performance into her visual art practice.
Her intuitive and visionary approach is influenced by Zen and Eastern philosophy. Central themes in her work include the human experience — particularly the duality and cyclical nature of existence — as well as interconnectedness, time, and life-force energy.
Recipient of multiple Arts Council England grants, including a National Lottery Project Grant (2026) and Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP) award (2025).
Her work has been exhibited and performed in the UK featuring Riverside Studios (‘25), Camden Fringe (‘24) with Cockpit Theatre, Affordable Art Fair (‘24), Firepit Art Gallery (‘25), Laura I Gallery (since ‘21), Bloomsbury Theatre (’21), Lincoln Arts Centre (‘24), and internationally in Italy, France, and the US. Kamila’s paintings are part of private collections in the UK, US, Canada, Mexico, France, and Poland.
Kamila lives in Lincoln and continues to work in the UK and internationally.
