About the Item
This monochrome portrait by Natasha Lelenco, part of her ongoing Exchange Currencies series (I’m Sorry, I’m Not From Here), is an acrylic painting on a circular pine wood panel (26 cm diameter, 2 cm depth). Combining contemporary figurative portraiture, conceptual text-based art, and coin-inspired design, the work engages with themes of migration, identity, value, and the politics of voice and silence.
Set against a vivid crimson background, the grayscale profile of a woman is encircled by the inscription: “I wore silence until it fit like jewelry 247 €”. This phrase transforms the piece into a poetic yet incisive commentary on adaptation, resilience, and the cost—emotional and social—of conforming to imposed norms. The fictitious monetary value reinforces the series’ exploration of the arbitrary nature of human worth in global and cultural contexts.
Hand-painted on treated pine wood, the work’s smooth, flawless surface allows for precise detailing, while the 2 cm depth of the panel gives it a subtle sculptural presence. Pieces in the Exchange Currencies series are conceived for both standalone display and modular installation, enabling collectors to create customized arrangements that expand the narrative and visual connections across the series.

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.

Danny Brown is a first-generation American urban artist born in Los Angeles. His parents relocated their family from Oaxaca, Mexico in search of opportunities in the United States. Brown uses his interest in fashion as well as his knowledge of color, design, and culture as inspiration for his paintings. The loss of friends to violence and incarceration, combined with the loss of a family member to gang violence pushed Brown to use art as a source of therapy and to project a positive inspiring image for his community.
Brown’s art coalesces youth culture, art history, fashion, and American consumerism and melds them all to create his unique style. Instantly relatable and recognizable, his cathartic paintings represent contemporary issues as well as a demographic that is traditionally underrepresented in fine art. His works speak to young Americans and inspire a whole new generation of art collectors and admirers.
