“Mademoiselle Esther Carp” in Warsaw
On December 8, 2026, Polish contemporary artist Nina Dziwoki will open her solo exhibition at Studio Jaskółka in Warsaw.
Supported by 407 Art Foundation, the artist explores the legacy of Esther Carp, a Polish-Jewish painter associated with École de Paris.
The exhibition creates a dialogue between two generations of women artists through painting, archival research, and personal interpretations of memory.
Open until December 15, Mademoiselle Esther Carp invites visitors to discover an artistic connection across time.
Mademoiselle Esther Carp: An Artistic Dialogue Across Generations
The exhibition takes the form of an artistic letter addressed to Esther Carp (1897–1970).
Nina Dziwoki developed the project through archival research at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme and Marek & Sons gallery in Paris.
These discoveries inspired new works exploring memory, presence, absence, and the relationship between an artist and her legacy.
Visitors will encounter paintings, collages, a mural, a video collage, and a scent installation created by Mood Scent Bar.
A special highlight will be original paintings by Esther Carp from the private collection of Ewa and Dariusz Jodłowski.
Their presentation creates a rare opportunity to experience historical and contemporary interpretations within one exhibition.
Who Is Nina Dziwoki?
Born in Rybnik in 1998, Nina Dziwoki is a Polish painter and visual artist based in Kraków.
She graduated from the Faculty of Painting at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in 2022.
Her artistic practice includes painting, monotype, collage, and large-scale murals.
Since 2019, she has created murals in Poland and internationally. Her works have also been exhibited in Germany, Greece, and Canada.
In 2024, she received First Prize in the New Image / New Perspective competition.
Her work explores abstraction, relationships between form and emotion, memory, and the possibilities of public space.
These interests form the foundation of her latest project dedicated to Esther Carp.

Esther Carp: Rediscovering a Polish Artist of École de Paris
Esther Carp was born in Skierniewice in 1897. She studied art in Warsaw and later probably in Vienna.
In 1925, she moved to Paris and became associated with École de Paris.
Her paintings were presented at major Parisian salons. In 1931, influential art dealer Leopold Zborowski organised her solo exhibition.
Carp developed a distinctive artistic language combining figurative elements, abstraction, geometric structures, and expressive colour.
Her paintings frequently explored everyday life, human figures, music, and emotional experiences.
Despite her artistic achievements, her legacy remained relatively little known for decades.
Today, museums and art historians are bringing renewed attention to her work.
The Historical Museum of Skierniewice presented her paintings in 2024, contributing to a broader rediscovery of her artistic career.
This historical perspective adds another dimension to Nina Dziwoki’s exhibition.
Her project invites audiences to reflect on artistic recognition, cultural memory, and the preservation of creative legacies.
Nina Dziwoki and 407 Art Foundation: Supporting Artistic Talent
407 Art Foundation has supported Nina Dziwoki’s artistic activities through several initiatives.
One earlier collaboration involved the “Malujemy Mural” project, organised by the Mosaic Association.
The Foundation supported this international educational initiative, bringing together young participants through contemporary art and mural painting.
Nina Dziwoki guided participants during the creation of a large-scale mural in Kraków.
Nina is also among the selected artists promoted through the Foundation’s ART FROM POLAND programme.
This initiative introduces Polish contemporary artists to international collectors and creates opportunities for recognition beyond Poland.
Supporting artistic talent and reducing barriers to the art market are central to the mission of 407 Art Foundation.
We connect artists with collectors, strengthen their visibility, and help develop lasting professional relationships.
Our collaboration with Nina reflects this commitment to supporting artists across different stages of their careers.
Institutional Support Makes Artistic Projects Possible
Mademoiselle Esther Carp was developed through a 2026 scholarship awarded by the Polish Minister of Culture and National Heritage.
This recognition provides important support for Nina Dziwoki’s artistic research and creative development.
The project also benefits from the partnership of the French Institute in Poland.
Its involvement is particularly meaningful for an exhibition connecting contemporary Polish art with the historical legacy of Paris.
We also acknowledge Studio Jaskółka, F5 Magazine, Mood Scent Bar, and the Mosaic Association for their contributions.
Cooperation between cultural institutions, independent organisations, and private partners creates opportunities for ambitious artistic projects.
At 407 Art Foundation, we believe such partnerships help talented artists overcome practical barriers and reach wider audiences.
An Exclusive Artist-Led Tour for 407 Art Foundation Collectors
Collectors connected with 407 Art Foundation will be invited to a special artist-led tour of the exhibition.
The meeting will take place during the exhibition, between December 8 and 15.
Participants will have an opportunity to meet Nina Dziwoki and discuss the creative process behind her latest works.
The conversation will also explore her research into Esther Carp and the artistic connections between their practices.
Further details will be shared directly with invited collectors.
