PROFILE
The upcycling of resources others would deem as waste has always fascinated Magda. In the current environmental situation we find ourselves in, she believes it is critical to utilise both natural and manmade products in order to create aesthetic and meaningful artworks. As an artist, she strives to convey to the viewer that art is everywhere, from an empty milk bottle to a discarded inner tube of a tyre.
