Aron Pudełko led 24 guided tours of “Faces of the Soul” during Night of Museums 2025

During Night of Museums 2025, the 407 Art Foundation, in collaboration with the Wojciech Cieśniewski Foundation, opened the doors to the exhibition “Faces of the Soul: Virtues and Sins”. Nearly 300 visitors came to explore the space at Hoża 27/10 in Warsaw. The audience experienced a powerful cycle of paintings by Wojciech Cieśniewski, one of Poland’s most acclaimed contemporary artists.

Night of Museums – a celebration of culture and closeness to art

Night of Museums is not just about long lines and crowds. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with art, reflect, and engage with works in a new light. This atmosphere was brought to life by Aron Pudełko, who led 24 passionate and insightful guided tours as the co-curator of the exhibition. Each tour was tailored to its audience — from students to collectors, art lovers to first-time visitors.

Aron Pudełko Interpretations that opened eyes and stirred emotions

With deep knowledge and dedication, Aron Pudełko shared insights into the symbolism and narrative structure of the paintings. He emphasized the connections between spirituality and psychology, and highlighted the role of the human figure as a being full of contradictions, emotions, and moral struggles. The tours became an essential part of the evening — giving visitors a deeper understanding of the artist’s message.

A new painting series as part of “Art at Złota”

“Faces of the Soul: Virtues and Sins” is the latest painting series by Wojciech Cieśniewski. The exhibition premiered in March 2025 at the prestigious Złota 44 residential tower as part of the “Art at Złota” project, initiated by the 407 Art Foundation. The series touches on timeless themes — good and evil, beauty, temptation, and the spiritual state of humanity.

The last chance to see the full collection

Night of Museums offered the final opportunity to see the entire collection in one space. Several paintings had already been acquired by collectors during previous private previews. This made the event especially meaningful — both for the visitors and the organizers.

Exhibition supported by partnerships and trust

The exhibition was made possible with the support of Sadkowski i Wspólnicy law firm, the strategic partner of the project. It was also held under the honorary patronage of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and the Mayor of the Śródmieście District of Warsaw. This collaboration demonstrates how essential partnerships between the arts, business, and public institutions are in sustaining cultural life.
