Krasnal Florianek

Krasnal Florianek is a small bronze figure of a dwarf engaged in chimney work, positioned near the Solpol shopping center in the Old Town. The statue captures fine details of a craft that was common in the neighborhood long ago.

The figure was installed in 2010 as part of a series of artworks that trace back to an artistic movement from the 1980s that resisted political oppression. The collection later expanded to shape the visual identity of the city.

This dwarf figure is part of a collection representing daily life in the Old Town. The statues tell stories of crafts and trades that shaped the neighborhood for generations.

The statue is located near shops and commercial areas, making it easy to visit while exploring the Old Town. Tourist information centers provide maps for finding all the figures scattered throughout the city.

This figure is the only one in the entire series depicting the specific work of chimney cleaning, an activity that was once practiced as a distinct trade. The depiction preserves the memory of this forgotten craft in a modern city.
