Robert Kuźmicz (b. 1974) is a Polish-born artist based in England. After twenty-five years in photography, he turned in 2010 to light painting, in which light sources replace brushes and the camera sensor replaces the canvas. Each work records a unique, unrepeatable gesture.
His works have been shown at festivals and group exhibitions in Poznań, Warsaw, London, Venice, Paris, Stockholm and Gibraltar. In February 2024 he was awarded the Grand Prix of the Royal Blue Open Call 2023, which led to the solo exhibition History of the Universe at Royal Blue Visual Arts Gallery, Stockholm (June 2024).
In 2024 he began developing Conscious Abstraction, an approach in which the visual structure of a work gives form to an abstract concept. It is set out in the Manifesto of Conscious Abstraction (2024) and in a series of essays (2025-2026). In June 2025 he published the essay Nie jestem fotografem, jestem artystą (“I Am Not a Photographer, I Am an Artist”) in Kwartalnik Fotografia.
His first series in this approach, Covenant (Przymierze), was presented at FotoArtFestival in Bielsko-Biała in 2025 as a group exhibition and a film screening of the complete cycle. Works from The Song of God the Creator were shown at Magan Gallery, London (May 2025), and at ORIGINS at The Handbag Factory, London (August 2026).
