About The Artwork
This wooden coin, measuring 26cm in diameter, is a sculptural painting from my Exchange Currencies series. Crafted with mixed media on pine wood, this artwork features a profile portrait of an anonymous face, encircled by a Spanish phrase that reads: "Con un pie en el recuerdo y el otro aquí," translating to "With one foot in memory and the other here" in English. Conceptually, this piece is part of my exploration into foreignness, drawing from my own experiences and connecting with the challenges of migration faced by others. These artworks are versatile, designed to be displayed individually or as part of larger compositions, allowing for customized installations to suit any space. If you're interested in purchasing multiple pieces, please reach out to me for a personalized offer, reduced shipping costs, and additional stock options. I'm also open to custom commissions to meet your specific preferences. As an artist of Moldovan origin, I delve into themes of foreignness and the value of art through this series. Unlike traditional coins with fixed values and national figures, my coins feature anonymous faces and variable selling values. They can be displayed individually or as part of larger panels, offering endless possibilities for creative installations. I'm also available to create commissioned panels tailored to your preferences. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information. As an added feature, I offer 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 provides collectors with not only a stunning piece of art but also the chance to visit my studio and consider acquiring another artwork using this as a form of payment.

Chisinau, 1982. Moldovan artist based in Spain. My approach is figurative and revolves around mainly human themes: metanarratives, death, value, subjectivity, family, among others. I like to approach them from a playful plastic game of repetitions, juxtapositions of colors, deformations in favor of psychological realism, and arbitrary use of elements and resources that I have in my studio. One of the constants in my work is the creation of panels, which, through the repetitive use of representations make a narrative. The visual element of repetition, particularly in the form of portraits, is a graphic obsession for me that captures a world where seriality is a defining feature. These pieces address themes such as death, tempus fugit, obsolescence, using a vibrant color palette inspired by folk art, advertising and Kitsch. The final image is a colorful and humorous antithesis.
