About the Item

This contemporary circular portrait painting by Natasha Lelenco belongs to the early series of Currencies, a project that reimagines the traditional coin as a symbolic portrait. Executed on a layered plywood panel (55 cm diameter, 4 cm thick), the piece merges precise figurative painting with vibrant pixelated floral motifs inspired by Eastern European tapestry patterns. The result is a hybrid object that functions both as a painting and a sculptural relief, pushing the boundaries between image and artifact. At the center of the composition, a male figure is rendered in a classical profile, with careful anatomical modeling and a determined expression. Surrounding him, a stylized floral background composed of orange, blue, and green pixels evokes both digital aesthetics and folkloric textiles. The strong contrast between the hyperrealistic figure and the flat, ornamental elements generates a dynamic visual field that explores themes of identity, representation, and symbolic value. The artwork belongs to Lelenco’s ongoing Currencies (I Am Sorry, I Am Not From Here) series—more than 200 unique painted tondos that reflect on migration, social belonging, and economic disparity. While conventional coins fix value through standard portraiture, Lelenco’s “coins” offer variable, often intentionally arbitrary worth, confronting the viewer with deeper questions of recognition and exclusion. Designed to be displayed as a single piece or in modular configurations, each artwork in this series is conceived as both autonomous and part of a larger visual dialogue. Custom commissions are available on request.

Female Profile Tondo with Yellow Pixel Floral Background. “Exchange Currency #5”
By Natasha Lelenco
Located in FISTERRA, ES
This sculptural round painting by Natasha Lelenco combines figurative precision with ornamental symbolism, presenting a striking female profile set against a digital-floral tapestry. Executed on a tondo plywood panel (55 cm diameter, 4 cm thick), the work fuses painting and objecthood, turning the portrait into a sculptural presence that projects into space. The pronounced edge of the panel and the layered construction contribute to its dimensional character, blurring the distinction between image and artifact. Rendered in warm tones, the face emerges with quiet intensity, its elongated neck extending into a flat, vividly painted body. The floral background—built from pixel-like forms in tones of yellow, ochre, and muted greens—references Eastern European textiles...

Summer Bloom - Floral Figurative Portrait Feminine
By Elise Remender
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Elise Remender captures the romantic glamour of a bygone era in her contemporary figurative paintings that blend classical fine art and contemporary pop realism. Fantasy, mid-century fashion, and the glamour of travel and coastal living inform soft brush strokes and abstracted beauty; reminiscent of vintage advertisements and dusted sunlight. This original 50-inch square painting evokes a sense of delight and playfully nods at summery vintage aesthetics. This one-of-a-kind painting is painted with acrylic paint on canvas. It is signed by Remender on the front bottom right corner of the artwork. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front and it does not require framing. Free delivery within the local Los Angeles area. This artwork includes a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery. Remender grew up in Arizona and is based in Southern California, but she has traveled all over the world gaining inspiration for her work. Her most recent series, Bathing Beauties, which captures the human form and abstracts it through light and reflection, was inspired by the vintage elegance and history of Southeast Asia’s historic hotel pools and gardens. It evokes a bygone era when Ernest Hemingway and Jackie O. were among the clientele. “I’m a bit of an old soul and there is a sense of elegance and beauty that has been lost in modern-day society, and I seek to recapture this essence in my work. I’m creating a sort of fantasy world of luxury, leisure, and old Hollywood glamour.” Her work has appeared in galleries in the US and Asia and in GQ Magazine, Architectural Digest, Dwell, California Home, People, among many other publications. Her paintings hang in luxury properties including The Ritz Carlton San Francisco, The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas, and Hilton properties across the United States, as well as in the homes of celebrity collectors including Ryan Seacrest and Kylie Jenner.
