"Currency #237" by Natasha Lelenco features a striking profile of a woman with meticulously braided hair, set against a vibrant blue background. The figure’s skin, rendered in shades of deep pink and red, contrasts dramatically with the bold blue backdrop, giving the piece a vivid surrealist quality. The phrase surrounding the figure reads, "Sorry, I'm not from around here," expressing a sense of dislocation, unfamiliarity, and the experience of foreignness often tied to migration. This conceptual work, painted on a 26 cm circular wooden panel, bears the inscribed value of 210 euros. The variable price underscores the artist's exploration of the arbitrary nature of human value, which mirrors how societies often assign worth based on factors such as origin, social status, or ethnicity. These pieces from the Currencies series are designed to function either as standalone works or to be combined into expansive multi-panel installations. As an interesting curiosity, the artist offers her collectors the possibility to exchange the equivalent value of the percentage that would have been due to the artist from the sale of these coins for future works of her own creation. Therefore, beyond acquiring a wonderful piece of art, they acquire the opportunity to visit the artist's studio and consider the purchase of another work using this as a form of payment.
