This piece is one of the latest additions to the "Exchange Currency Series", inspired by the concept of the "face" on coins. It is a unique work consisting of a meticulously crafted female portrait executed on a treated circular pine wood cut, created using mixed media techniques. In this piece, dominated by a palette of blues and greens, I take stylistic liberties that connect the classical portrait with cubism and urban art. The character is framed by a phrase that can be translated as "You're crazy, it will be hard. Good luck," bringing an almost humorous and carefree vision to the underlying audacity of migration. Conceptually, the artwork is part of a project in which , drawing my own experience, I explore the theme of foreignness and the sense of 'not being from here.' Furthermore, it connects with the experiences of others who have undergone 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. 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. The norm is that the faces on currencies belong to kings, presidents of republics, or individuals who represent clear national identification. These currencies, by contrast, present a collection of anonymous profiles enveloped in disconcerting phrases that allude to the concept of a vast community of citizens who live in a state of 'not belonging,' characters who inhabit the depreciation that so often defines origins, laws, and inequality.

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.
