I’ve been digging through a stack of 18th‑century Spanish coins lately and the tiny, almost hidden motifs on them are a treasure trove—think tiny galleons, allegorical figures, and intricate vines that look like they could be the skeleton of a whole composition. Do you ever think about using those old coin designs as a starting point for a mixed‑media piece, maybe layering them with something unexpected to create a dialogue between past and present?
