This original work «Denga» was created by contemporary Russian artist Sergio Brugueiro and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Sergio Brugueiro «Denga» is a unique piece in which a historical artifact — an old Russian coin — becomes the central object of profound artistic exploration. This work combines elements of still life, hyperrealism, and historical reflection.
The entire composition focuses on a large, almost monumental depiction of a copper coin known as a denga, issued in 1748. The artist reproduces with astonishing precision the smallest details of the coin’s reverse (or obverse): the characteristic font of the inscription «ДЕНГА 1748», the intricate patterns surrounding it, the floral ornaments, and symbols. Every element of the coin’s design is rendered so that one can feel its relief and texture.
Brugueiro masterfully conveys the aging of the metal. Shades of brown, copper, and bronze with subtle transitions of light and shadow create the impression of patina, wear, and the passage of time that has touched this artifact. The artist does not simply copy but rather enlarges the coin to monument size, allowing the viewer to see it as a work of art and a testament to a bygone era.
The background of the painting is simple but harmonizes with the main subject: soft, neutral tones of beige and ochre do not distract attention but rather emphasize the grandeur and historical significance of the coin.
«ДЕНГА» by Sergio Brugueiro is not just a still life. It is a tribute to history, respect for detail, and a reflection on value that can be not only monetary but also cultural and artistic. The painting invites the viewer on a journey through time, to understand that even a modest coin can hold many stories within it.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.

With this work, I began a series of pieces with a numismatic focus. Two of my passions came together — painting and numismatics. The idea was suggested to me by an acquaintance collector when he learned about my interest in painting. The idea had a commercial undertone — to participate in numismatic auctions with my works.
