The artist from Malaga has been paying tribute to great artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Picasso, Salvador Dal\u00ed, Frida Kahlo and Banksy for the last five years by hand-painting their works on banknotes and coins. Mar\u00eda Rold\u00e1n captures the most iconic paintings on the most everyday canvases without altering their functionality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda Rold\u00e1n began her project when she painted Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam on a 10-euro banknote.\u00a0After checking the legality of the banknote, which is that if you don’t cover the serial number, the note still has value, the artist used it to pay in a cafeteria. Since that day, her works of art have been circulating all over the world, combining the classical and the contemporary on one canvas.<\/p>\n

Although her favourite painter is Van Gogh, the Malaga-born artist has captured the self-portraits of Frida Kahlo, the surrealism of Salvador Dal\u00ed, the impressionism of Claude Monet, the beaches of Joaqu\u00edn Sorolla, the activism of Banksy, The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai, The Scream by Edvard Munch and the symbolism of Gustav Klimt.<\/p>\n
