Author's technique on wood: pastel, acrylic, stain, gold leaf, coins
The painting is part of a series called ОБЕРЕГИ, in which I use real coins from around the world in jewelry design.
The series «ОБЕРЕГИ» — is a contemporary artistic interpretation of the ancient tradition of wearing coin jewelry through the lens of the female image, design, fashion, history, and personal vision. The tradition of adorning oneself with coins dates back centuries and is found among many peoples worldwide. Coins were sewn onto clothing and headdresses, strung into jingling bracelets and necklaces. Such items were not only decorative — they served as powerful talismans, protecting the wearer from evil spirits and misfortune, as well as symbols of wealth, social status, and inner strength.
The coins in my paintings are not just decorations. They are talismans. Symbols of preservation, strength, wealth, and protection. They are woven into the portraits just as they were once sewn onto headdresses and clothing: not only for beauty but also for power. In each heroine, there is the voice of the past and the breath of the present. Their images represent an artistic dialogue between tradition and personal vision, between archetype and modernity.
