Three-dimensional fabric

This powerful contemporary work captures the essence of a universal symbol: the dollar. The black, minimalist, and profound canvas serves as a backdrop for a bold and immediate representation, where the brush, unusually, is not just a tool but becomes an integral part of the artistic process. The drawing of the dollar emerges from the canvas precisely where the brush has left its mark, creating an almost surreal effect, as if the painterly gesture is still taking shape.

The canvas, in contrast to the luminous design of the dollar, evokes a sense of mystery and introspection, leaving room for the viewer to reflect on the meaning of money in modern society. The very act of leaving the brush attached to the canvas, suspended in its movement, suggests a work that is constantly evolving, as if the process of creation is still ongoing and the value of the dollar is something dynamic and never static.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas worked with acrylic paint to give the impression of a three-dimensional brush stroke.
The brush is firmly attached to the canvas with screws.

Works estimated by the auction house Setdart €4,500/€5,000.

Shipping: professional packaging, insured shipping with tracking. Canvas mounted on a wooden frame (frame not included).

"It's never easy to classify one's art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
