Money Rules

Collaged currency wheels signify wealth’s relentless pursuit. I’ve captured the paradox of desire and the longing for something more elusive than material riches. This painting imparts an energetic dialogue on value and aspiration, destined to awaken contemplation in any space (Oksana Tanasiv)
