About the Item
Circular acrylic portrait on wood exploring migration, self-discovery, and belonging through symbolic language and subtle chromatic harmony.
Currency #263 by Natasha Lelenco portrays the profile of a young person with tightly curled hair, painted in delicate tonal gradations of violet, rose, and grey over a muted mauve ground. Around the figure, a handwritten Spanish inscription reads:
“Vine lejos para estar más cerca de mí misma.”
(I came far to be closer to myself.)
The phrase encapsulates the dual movement of migration and introspection—how distance can bring one closer to authenticity. The portrait’s calm expression and careful modeling convey both vulnerability and resilience, while the circular format transforms the image into a meditative emblem of transformation. Executed in acrylic on treated pine wood (26 cm diameter, 2 cm thickness), the painting is varnished and painted on all edges, emphasizing its sculptural quality.
Part of the artist’s ongoing Currencies series, which now comprises over 200 original works, Currency #263 replaces the authority of the coin with the intimacy of individual experience. Each circular portrait operates as a symbolic unit of value, reflecting the complex intersections of identity, displacement, and personal history. The artist assigns a certified, arbitrary value to each piece, transforming it into both a collectible artwork and a conceptual statement about human worth.
These modular paintings are designed for flexible installation: they can be displayed individually or assembled into polyptychs and wall constellations that evoke rhythm and continuity. Their compact scale and conceptual depth make them ideal as collectible wall art and installation-ready sculptural pieces for contemporary interiors and curatorial spaces alike.

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.

Pancho Malezanov’s wild cars have broken into the Art moorhouse gallery- London!
I have read that designers strive to give character to cars, often inspired by nature - sometimes their headlights look like the eyes of an owl or an eagle, grills snarling predatorily like shark’s teeth, the body curved like a purring kitten orsleek like a hungry tiger ... not to mention the many horses under the bonnet ...
It is this nature of cars, including some of the most expensive and vintage brands, that artist Pancho Malezanov unveils his new series "(Auto) portraits".
First of all, because he has experience with painting animals and knows their desires well. Secondly, because he sees their characters embodied in metal, leather and glass. The result is futuristic – a car, yet behind the windows, the character of a powerful untamed beast is revealed. Not always, of course.
How can you not trust a brand whose radiator grill is colored like a rainbow, whose multicolored lights wink at you, all stemming from Malezanov’s imagination. He has managed to turn the car into a living creature who prowls around the urban jungle.
You will stand up and pay attention after seeing such a car. And you’ll be sorry that you drive a boring black or white machine. No problem – simply listen and take inspiration on how to bring colour to your life and to your car from this exhibition. If you do not want to take a risk with an insanely expensive classic brand, at least you can hang up your own Malezanovartwork on your wall and lift your mood by how he intertwines technique with technology, combining the flamboyant cars with detailed backstories and turns them into colorful toys for a grown boy’s room.
Mila Vacheva – "24 Hours" newspaper
The prominent art critic Maximilian Kirov writes about the author:
..."As an artist Pancho Malezanov always prefers to interact with nature directly, but it is difficult to call him a landscape artist in the exact meaning of the term. He is not interested in particular details, but prefers to unite the entire scenery through a randomly situated point of view, which does not take into account the horizon line or the static position from which each natural object is seen. This point of view almost always has a peculiar “bird’s plan view”, which allows him to contemplate a panoramic scene. This is a “bird’s eye vision...
