«At all times, art have been sold for money.»

And what if you look at the inextricable link between art and money from a different angle?
What if you try to turn money into art?
What if you try to turn money into art?
This unconventional idea gave birth to my project “The Illusion of Faces”.
Portraits made of real coins
For several years, I painstakingly perfected the technique in order to achieve a fascinating visual illusion that turns a scattering of painted coins into a photorealistic portrait right before the viewer's eyes.
Portrait made of coins is a lot more than just a pictured image of a person.
Each coin is charged with the energy of the fates of millions of people in whose hands they have been.
Each one keeps a monetary chronicle of desires and acquisitions.
Each one keeps a monetary chronicle of desires and acquisitions.
The portrait made of coins is a work of art filled with unique energy and permeated with the philosophy of the deep relationship between art, money and their role in the life of every person.
I'm open for commission and collaboration, and I'll be glad to make a portrait of coins for the individual request.
The portrait of a great historical figure or an outstanding contemporary will become the brightest embodiment of a person or company's ideals and aspirations.
And the portrait of a person who has a special meaning in your life can be a gift that expresses their exceptional significance for you.
“The Illusion of Faces”. The unique idea. Painstaking work.
The technique that has no analogues in the world.
