Unique piece 1/1
Three-dimensional canvas

This powerful contemporary work captures the essence of a universal symbol: the dollar. The black canvas, minimalist and deep, serves as a backdrop for a bold and immediate representation, where the brush, in an unusual way, is not merely a tool but becomes an integral part of the artistic process. The drawing of the dollar emerges from the canvas right where the brush left its trace, creating an almost surreal effect, as if the painting gesture were still taking shape.

The canvas, in contrast with the luminous drawing 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 continually evolving, as if the creative process were still ongoing and the value of the dollar were something dynamic and never static.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g/m² canvas, treated with acrylic paint to give the impression of a three-dimensional brushstroke. The brush is firmly attached to the canvas with screws.
