Art From Dollars
ART FROM DOLLARS
Here's an artist who may not be made of money (yet), but her works are - they are entirely created from cut-up dollar bills.
Irina Truhanova's cash creations range from a portrait of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to a dollar depiction of a geisha.
Other work highlights include a samurai, a motorbike, a Bentley car and the Statue of Liberty.
The 22-year-old from Riga, Latvia, who ironically gave up her job as an international businesswoman to follow her artistic dream, starts by sketching out her subject in pencil.
She explains: "Once I have an idea of how the picture will look I can select parts of real dollar bills and cut them out. These small fragments are bought together to form the whole image.
"I wanted to create mosaics that personified freedom, independence, business and capital, and using real U.S. currency seemed to fit this perfectly.
"What is amazing is that I believe I can implement any idea or image I can think of just using the bank notes.
"I first showed my collages to friends an relatives and they were amazed so I decided to advertise my work on the internet.
"I received requests for commissions very quickly and within a few months I realised I could stop using my office job to make money and support myself by making money pictures full-time."
Irina's works can sell for hundreds of dollars, so she must be coining it in!
