Pałac Lodowy/Ice Palace/exibition book










"(...) This enchanting longing, painted against an austere, frosty background; this sense of inevitable loss, helplessness in dealing with merci- less, cruel nature become the idée fixe for Magda Franczak.

The artist builds her microlandscapes with paper, chemical formulas, delicate drawings and structures. Snow and its perfection, temporary geometry, contribute to a story of helplessness and oblivion. Nature appears to be a mortal enemy, competing with man, surrounding him, putting him of his stride, depriving him of freedom, tempting, leading astray, finally  killing him.
