This symbolic contemporary portrait painting on canvas, titled Ancestor Clone 14, is part of Natasha Lelenco’s ongoing series You Are The One. Executed in acrylic with expressive brushwork and a vibrant color palette, the piece presents a striking symbolic face composed of stylized and exaggerated features. The deep greenish skin tone contrasts with the warm pink background, evoking a dreamlike yet intimate atmosphere. Delicate white flowers surround the face, while a small anthropomorphic form is gently cradled in one hand—an ambiguous presence that may represent an inner discomfort, a fear, or a personal burden. The figure’s attitude towards this entity is not one of rejection, but of tender familiarity. In this visual encounter, the painting suggests a narrative where discomfort is no longer externalized but softly embraced. This piece belongs to the Ancestor Clones subseries, which reflects on repetition, inheritance, and the performative nature of identity. The You Are The One project as a whole questions the idea of individuality in a world where selfhood is shaped by collective memory, algorithms, and archetypes. Working across a range of aesthetic references—from naïve figuration to expressionism and echoes of urban art—Lelenco constructs a visual language that speaks of hybridity and psychological intensity. Her characters, often symmetrical and frontal, resemble ritual masks or avatars, and point to an exploration of the “posthuman” condition through the codes of contemporary portraiture. This work is intended to function both as an individual painting and as part of a larger polyptych installation. Many pieces in the series have already been collected worldwide and have appeared in international exhibitions. Natasha Lelenco is open to commission-based projects and multi-piece configurations that adapt to the needs of specific interiors or curatorial contexts.

This acrylic painting, part of Natasha Lelenco’s You Are the One series, features a vivid and surreal portrait of a central woman figure with a bright blue face, framed by sleek black hair, set against a luminous yellow background. The subject’s green lips add a bold contrast, drawing attention to the artwork’s vibrant color palette. Surrounding the figure, playful blue flowers and abstract shapes evoke an expressive, almost whimsical narrative, blending surrealist and naïve art styles. The canvas is characterized by its flat, saturated colors and dynamic floral patterns, which add depth and movement to the composition. This unique piece integrates elements of both figurative and decorative art, offering a lively exploration of identity and expression. The fluorescent quality of the colors creates a striking effect, although slight variations may appear in digital reproductions compared to the original work. Technical Details: Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 55x55cm Year: 2024 Style: Surrealist, naïve, contemporary About the Series: You Are the One is Natasha Lelenco’s latest exploration of individuality and collective identity through vivid, surreal portraits.

Painted wood wall hanging sculpture "Red, White and Blue," (and gold) 2008 Stamped signed with initials, date and edition 2/5 Oded Halahmy, Abstract Modernist artist, was born in Iraq in the old city of Baghdad in 1938, the artist came from a family of Orthodox Jews with deep roots in ancient Babylonian culture. His father, Salech Haskel Chebbazah, was a prosperous goldsmith in Baghdad and a Jewish member of the Communist Party when Jews comprised more than a quarter of the population of Baghdad. He refers to his home as the “land of wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates.”, Oded moved with his family to Israel in the 1950s, was educated at St. Martin's School of Art in London which was then a leading center for sculpture, led by Anthony Caro and Philip King and having links to Henry Moore. He taught sculpture are in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, as well as many other public and private collections worldwide. He currently lives in New York City and Old Jaffa, Israel. Like countless New Yorkers who arrived from distant lands, Oded Halahmy has a rich personal history of exile, migration and travels. Although New York has been his home for over 45 years, memories of Iraq left an indelible imprint on his life and work. Known for his dynamic yet often playful figurative pop art style sculptures in wood and bronze, he fills his work with images — albeit abstracted from reality — that evoke the landscape, architecture and rich colors of the Middle East. Palm trees, doves, pomegranates, temples and age-old symbols abound along with deep reds, amber, sky blue and the familiar greenish-blue hues of aged bronze.
