MBC TV: «Two artists from Ukraine, Daria Marchenko and Daniel Green, have unveiled a portrait of U.S. President Donald Trump created in a highly unusual way. Artists used heat to bring out varying degrees of color in the coins, mixed with paint for Trump’s famous hair. They used casino chips for his jacket, a reflection of Trump’s past as a casino magnate — and his penchant for being a risk-taker. President Trump’s face, covered with hundreds of closely arranged coins. The artists explained that they chose coins as their medium to emphasize the idea that dignity and honor should stand above money. The artwork took three months to complete. Previously, in 2014, the artists created a portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin using spent bullet casings collected after attacks in eastern Ukraine, conveying a powerful anti-war message.»
