Portrait on Money

Description

This striking portrait merges traditional Asian aesthetics with abstract elements, set against the textured surface of vintage currency. The figure's intense gaze and vibrant red accents contrast sharply with the muted background, while raised black and red paint adds a tactile, layered dimension. The fusion of cultural symbolism and modern expression reveals a complex narrative that will provoke thought and elevate any space.

Artist

I blend portraiture with layered textures and cultural symbols, exploring identity through currency, color, and history. My work invites quiet reflection and dialogue between past and present, creating pieces that add depth and intrigue to any space.
