With the same kind of wonder Madame Symona questions the way one can distinguish between reality and imagination. She was introduced to ancient wisdom at a very early age by her grandmother who was proficient at the narration of fairy tales. She later studied literature and fine arts and learned to hear the same material consciously as a system of symbols, allegorically and poetry.

Madame Symona's alter ego Maria Madacky's professional practice is informed mainly by her interest in art, literature and metaphysics. Her current focus of interest is investigation into less conventional structures of knowledge that mediate the physical and metaphysical realms. Madam Symona is an imaginary but palpable character who walks the line connecting two planes of reality: the realm of physics and metaphysics. As an occupant of liminal spaces, she creates atmospheres and invites audiences to cross beyond the mundane and experience the dreamy landscapes of in-between-ness.
