About the Item
Special offer only in this artwork of this series: 50% off from May 21 to May 28 only. This limited-time campaign highlights selected works from Currencies, the long-running series by Natasha Lelenco exploring migration, value, and identity through painted coin-like portraits on wood.
In Currency #247, the artist presents a side-profile of a young migrant girl rendered in luminous green tones, emerging from a vivid yellow background. The Spanish inscription encircling the image reads: “Yo era muy pequeña, ir a otro país era algo alucinante” (“I was very young, going to another country was something amazing”), offering a child’s perspective on migration as both awe-inspiring and disorienting.
The portrait is painted on a circular pine wood panel (26 cm diameter, 2 cm thick) using acrylics and spray paint. The format mimics the shape of a coin, evoking the symbolic function of currency while interrogating how personal worth is shaped by geography, race, and opportunity. Each portrait in this series is unique and hand-painted, blending realism with playful distortion and conceptual precision.
About the Series
This artwork is part of Natasha Lelenco’s Lo siento no soy de aquí / Currencies, a documentary-based art project exploring estrangement and inequality through the visual language of coins. Using multilingual inscriptions and fragmentary quotes gathered from migrant experiences, the series visualizes emotional and social dislocation with intimate force.
The works are conceived for display as individual pieces or as part of modular installations. Collectors may exchange coins in the future—returning a piece and selecting another available work—emphasizing the fluid and unstable nature of assigned value.

Natasha Lelenco
Natasha Lelenco, born in Chișinău, Moldova in 1982, is a prominent Moldovan painter and contemporary artist who has been residing in Galicia, Spain, since 2008. She is especially known for her figurative work, particularly in the realm of portraiture. Holding a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Cluj-Napoca in Romania, her art has been featured in numerous international exhibitions and art fairs. Natasha Lelenco's art has been showcased across exhibitions in Spain, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, Mexico, and beyond. Natasha Lelenco's approach is figurative, primarily centered on the human form, which she understands as an integral part of life rather than its core. Her themes encompass identity, self-awareness, and the role of chance in shaping the value of things and life itself. Her artistic journey has given rise to self-contained series where narrative and format harmonize, often springing from a playful interplay of repetition, color juxtapositions, deformations in pursuit of psychological realism, and a selective use of elements and resources available in her studio. A recurring motif in her work is the creation of panels, which, through repetitive use of representations, weave a narrative. The visual motif of repetition, especially in the portrayal of faces, represents a graphic fixation that captures a world characterized by seriality. To depict this, she frequently draws inspiration from popular art, advertising, and kitsch. The resulting imagery often strikes a tragicomic chord. She finds solace in project-based work, and virtually all her endeavors since dedicating herself professionally to artistic creation revolve around narratives materializing in pieces that often seek to function both collectively and independently.

Female Profile Tondo with Yellow Pixel Floral Background. “Exchange Currency #5”
By Natasha Lelenco
Located in FISTERRA, ES
This sculptural round painting by Natasha Lelenco combines figurative precision with ornamental symbolism, presenting a striking female profile set against a digital-floral tapestry. Executed on a tondo plywood panel (55 cm diameter, 4 cm thick), the work fuses painting and objecthood, turning the portrait into a sculptural presence that projects into space. The pronounced edge of the panel and the layered construction contribute to its dimensional character, blurring the distinction between image and artifact.
Rendered in warm tones, the face emerges with quiet intensity, its elongated neck extending into a flat, vividly painted body. The floral background—built from pixel-like forms in tones of yellow, ochre, and muted greens—references Eastern European textiles...
