Currency #214 "First Language, Then Documents" Painting

This sculptural painting on a wooden circle, is one of my recent works from the Currency Exchange series. In this instance, the piece, rendered in vibrant red, blue, and black tones, portrays the profile portrait of an anonymous immigrant surrounded by the Czech phrase "Nejprve jazyk, později dokumenty," which translates into English as "First language, then documents." Conceptually, this artwork is part of my exploration into the theme of foreignness, drawing from my own experiences and connecting with the challenges of migration. These artworks are designed to function both individually and in multiple compositions, allowing for installations tailored to the space with as many artworks as desired. If you're interested in purchasing more than one piece, please reach out to me to receive a customized offer, reduce shipping costs, and explore additional stock options. I'm also available for custom commissions. As an artist of Moldovan origin, I delve into themes of foreignness and explore the value of art through this series. While conventional coins have a fixed value and typically depict a national figure, my 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 of any size. I also create panels on commission according to the preferences of my clients. Feel free to get in touch, and I will be delighted to provide further information. As an interesting feature, I offer my collectors the opportunity to exchange the equivalent value of the percentage that would have been due to me from the sale of these coins for future works of my own creation. This means that collectors not only acquire a wonderful piece of art but also gain the opportunity to visit my studio and consider purchasing another work using this as a form of payment.
