Artwork By Doina-Mihaela

As a mixed media artist, my work navigates the complex interplay between value, destruction, and creation. In recent explorations, I have turned to an unconventional medium: shredded currency. By repurposing money, I aim to provoke a dialogue on the intrinsic and extrinsic values we assign to objects, particularly in the context of art and economics.

Shredded money, once a symbol of power, security, and status, becomes a fragmented relic of its former self. I transform these fragments into intricate tapestries through the meticulous reassembly process, challenging viewers to reconsider their perceptions of worth and beauty. The deconstruction of currency is a deliberate act of rebellion against its traditional role, questioning the societal constructs that govern our lives.

Each piece I create is a meditation on the cyclical nature of value. The transformation from whole to fragmented and back to a cohesive form mirrors the endless cycles of financial systems and personal growth. By embedding these remnants within my canvases, I aim to immortalize the ephemeral nature of wealth and provoke reflections on the true essence of value in our lives.

In a world where the worth of art is often measured in monetary terms, my work reminds us that true value lies in the ideas, emotions, and connections it inspires. The juxtaposition of shredded money against the backdrop of my canvases invites viewers to delve deeper into their understanding of value, urging them to see beyond the surface and discover the hidden stories within each piece.

Through this artistic journey, I aspire to create visually compelling works and foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of value, encouraging a shift towards a more reflective and nuanced perspective on what we hold dear.

OUR CONCEPT

Written By Joelcy Kay – Curator

Every piece of art, crafts, or textiles, hanging on my walls or ceiling tells a tiny passage of my life. Most of it was acquired during my travels. Many of these treasures are damaged whether because they were broken on arrival, as the pieces were tightly stuffed into my backpack, or weathered by the unforgiving Florida tropical humidity. But in the end, they are my precious processions and they are part of the stories I tell. It feels good to have rugs hanging from the ceiling, masks on the walls, and drinking my morning coffee thinking of the mugs’ tale. The point here is that art has a lot to offer each one of us; ART IS VERY PERSONAL!

The NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY offers that personal experience as the individual has the opportunity to buy the art from the creator and by doing so a new event to remember is born. When you hang the work of art on your wall there is a story behind it; an artist you now know and follow. And instead of the usual “I purchased this at “WWW(BIG BIG ART STORE).COM” the connection enriches the emotional value of your art piece.

WHY DISPLAY YOUR ART AT THE NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY?

The gallery is designed to connect the art seekers and collectors with artists directly. We offer artists a COMMISSION FREE / CONTRACT FREE online platform to sell their creations and engage with their clients using portfolio pages that are engaging with large images and a dramatic black background.
