Magda Francot



Born in Antwerp, Belgium on 30 july 1942
Drawing and painting lessons at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.

The world of Magda is a place of " Illusionary Realism"-scenes from her imagination laced with the inspiration she derives from music and literature. Magda's oil paintings follow the great Flemish school of painters. She works in Antwerp, (Flanders, Belgium) a great seafaring city and centre of commerce which spawned many of the most highly regarded artists. Magda prefers working in oils, but has also mastered pastels, watercolours ans colouredpencils, which she uses with the same mastery of colour and light and darkness. She creates symbolic works of arts and fine portraits commissioned in all of these techniques. She won a lot of prizes, and teaches at her own art school in Antwerp.
