This original work "Princess Irene" was created by contemporary Russian artist Irina Laskova and is available for purchase online.
Author's technique on wood: pastel, acrylic, stain, gold leaf, coins.
The painting is titled "Princess Irene," named after the tulip variety Prinses Irene, which I used as the basis for the stylization.
The painting is part of a series called PROTECTORS, in which I use real coins from around the world in jewelry design.
The "PROTECTORS" series is a contemporary artistic interpretation of the ancient tradition of wearing coin jewelry through the lens of the female image, design, fashion, history, and the artist's vision. The tradition of adorning oneself with coins has roots deep in history and is found among many peoples worldwide.
Coins were sewn onto clothing and headdresses, strung into jingling bracelets and necklaces. Such items had not only decorative value—they served as powerful talismans, protecting the wearers from evil spirits and misfortunes, as well as symbols of wealth, social status, and inner strength.
The coins in my paintings are so organically integrated with the ornament, decoration, composition, and female image that I understood the deeper meaning of the series: it lies in the balance of the spiritual and the material. The balance of these aspects brings harmony and beauty, both on the canvas and in real life. If one side becomes dominant, the balance is disrupted, and harmony is lost.
The process of creating the painting is captured in the documentary about my work "I Found Myself," which premiered in 2025.
You can hang this painting on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
