Natasha Lelenco, born in Chișinău, Moldova in 1982, is a prominent Moldovan painter and contemporary artist who has been residing in Galicia, Spain, since 2008. She is especially known for her figurative work, particularly in the realm of portraiture. Holding a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Cluj-Napoca in Romania, her art has been featured in numerous international exhibitions and art fairs. Natasha Lelenco's art has been showcased across exhibitions in Spain, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, Mexico, and beyond. Natasha Lelenco's approach is figurative, primarily centered on the human form, which she understands as an integral part of life rather than its core. Her themes encompass identity, self-awareness, and the role of chance in shaping the value of things and life itself. Her artistic journey has given rise to self-contained series where narrative and format harmonize, often springing from a playful interplay of repetition, color juxtapositions, deformations in pursuit of psychological realism, and a selective use of elements and resources available in her studio. A recurring motif in her work is the creation of panels, which, through repetitive use of representations, weave a narrative. The visual motif of repetition, especially in the portrayal of faces, represents a graphic fixation that captures a world characterized by seriality. To depict this, she frequently draws inspiration from popular art, advertising, and kitsch. The resulting imagery often strikes a tragicomic chord. She finds solace in project-based work, and virtually all her endeavors since dedicating herself professionally to artistic creation revolve around narratives materializing in pieces that often seek to function both collectively and independently.

Round Female Profile Painting on Wood Tondo With Green Floral Pixel Background
By Natasha Lelenco
Located in FISTERRA, ES
Large round female profile painting on wood tondo with green floral pixel background inspired by Eastern European textile motifs. This sculptural wooden tondo is part of the first group of large-format “coin” paintings developed by Natasha Lelenco in 2019. Executed in acrylic on plywood, the circular panel transforms portraiture into an object-like presence, merging contemporary figurative painting with the symbolic language of currency and medallion imagery. The female profile, rendered with quiet precision, emerges against a dense green floral background structured through pixel-like forms. The ornamental field references traditional Eastern European carpets and woven domestic textiles, yet its geometric simplification evokes a digital surface. This tension between handcrafted heritage and pixel abstraction situates the work within a dialogue between memory and modern visual culture. Unlike conventional coin iconography, which standardizes identity through official figures, this large round painting presents an anonymous subject suspended within decorative pattern. The circular format reinforces notions of value, circulation, and symbolic authority, while the pronounced thickness of the wood panel (tondo construction) enhances its sculptural dimension. The result is a statement round artwork that operates both conceptually and decoratively. Its strong contrast between the green floral pixel background and the refined profile silhouette makes it particularly suited for contemporary interiors, curated collections, or architectural spaces seeking bold circular wall art...
