Along with Stefan Filipkiewicz and Ludwik Misky, Kamocki was one of the most important representatives of symbolic landscape painting, represented by their teacher Stanisławski. Like Stanisławski, Kamocki also used thick oil paint. In open-air painting , views from Volhynia , Podolia , Spiš , Orava , areas around Krakow, Zakopane and the Tatras were created . Sometimes he also painted still lifes . Originally he created larger paintings on canvas; in the 1920s he painted almost exclusively on cardboard.

Kamocki exhibited with the TZSP in group exhibitions since 1899 and in a solo exhibition in 1917. The Society of Friends of the Fine Arts in Krakow organized a solo exhibition each in 1920 and 1935. His works have also been shown internationally - in Vienna, Budapest, Venice, Berlin, Prague, Moscow, Brussels and New York. Pictures of him are in the national museums in Krakow and Warsaw , as well as in regional museums in Sandomierz (Muzeum Okęgowe), Katowice (Muzeum Śląskie) and Bytom (Muzeum Górnośląske).
