Exhibition opening “Art Is Born From Art”
📅 The exhibition runs until 21.03
An intergenerational exhibition of three female artists: Krystyna Kozłowska, Weronika Naszarkowska-Multanowska and Klara Naszarkowska — grandmother, daughter and granddaughter — connected by family ties and a creative dialogue with art history. Each works in a different medium, yet all reference artistic heritage, reinterpreting it from the perspective of their own eras, experiences and sensibilities. A shared element of their biographies and work is Warsaw — the city of their lives, work and inspiration.
Curator of the exhibition: Blanka Wyszyńska-Walczak
- Krystyna Kozłowska (1922–1987) A Polish painter, graphic artist and mosaic creator. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Eugeniusz Eibisch, then continued her education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in Jan Sokołowski’s studio. Associated with the postwar reconstruction of Warsaw, she co-created façades of Old Town tenement houses, restoring their historical forms by using classical motifs and decoration. Her oeuvre combines respect for tradition with an individual interpretation of old models and exceptional attention to detail.
- Weronika Naszarkowska-Multanowska (b. 1954) A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where she received her diploma with distinction in 1981. Author of several solo exhibitions and participant in dozens of group shows in Poland and in England, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Japan, Yugoslavia, Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland, the USA and Italy. In addition to painting, she works in press illustration. Her practice maintains a consistent dialogue with European artistic heritage, operating in both large formats and intimate cycles. Her paintings reinterpret motifs known from art history, filtered through contemporary sensibilities. Daughter of Krystyna Kozłowska.
- Klara Naszarkowska (b. 1979) A young-generation artist working in photography and digital graphics. She creates compositions inspired by painting icons and contemporary visual culture, often examining relationships between human-made space, the actions of nature and the passage of time. Her works — including the series “painters” — reinterpret motifs known from art history, transforming them into a modern, visually suggestive narrative. Granddaughter of Krystyna Kozłowska and daughter of Weronika Naszarkowska-Multanowska, resident of Saska Kępa.
