Natasha Lelenco
Colorful Portrait On A Wooden Circle. Man On A Floral Background. "Currency #1"

2019

About the Item

This piece belongs to the first series of 6 large coins created by Natasha Lelenco in 2019, starting from the concept of the "face" and incorporating a floral background inspired by the traditional carpets and tapestries of Eastern Europe. Crafted in a tondo shape on a plywood panel, it features an intervened profile that becomes an integral part of the piece's composition, adding depth and bestowing a certain sculptural character to an initially pictorial work. Natasha Lelenco, artist of Moldovan origin, addresses themes of foreignness and the well-trodden subject of the value of art with this series. While conventional coins have a fixed value and typically depict a national figure, Natasha's coins showcase anonymous faces and offer variable, often arbitrary, selling values. These coins can function both individually and as panels alongside others from the same series, allowing for the creation of installations as vast as desired. The artist also creates panels on commission according to the preferences of clients. Feel free to get in touch, and we will be delighted to provide further information. As an interesting curiosity, the artist offers her collectors the possibility to exchange the equivalent value of the percentage that would have been due to the artist from the sale of these coins for future works of her own creation. Therefore, beyond acquiring a wonderful piece of art, they acquire the opportunity to visit the artist's studio and consider the purchase of another work using this as a form of payment.
