Currency #260 - Contemporary Female Portrait on Wooden Collectible Coin

This captivating contemporary portrait fuses hyper-realism with urban art influences, offering a dynamic interpretation of migration and duality. Painted in luminous yellows and vibrant blues on a circular, 26 cm treated pine panel, the piece features a striking female profile whose face is partially covered in expressive, street-art-style markings. The English inscription, "My body lingers here, my life unfolds there," underscores the tension between physical presence and emotional displacement, a universal sentiment for those navigating multiple cultural identities.

Part of Natasha Lelenco’s acclaimed Currencies series, this work is an exploration of movement, memory, and personal transformation.
