I wonder if the artist puts these back in circulation... probably not. I know I would never be able to let go of paintings as beautiful as these

Why use money as a paintgroud? These pictures are 210€, if I counted right, and I can't find a reason why it has to be money. There is no connection between the money and the pictures.

Maybe it was an interesting exercise in matching or complimenting colour palettes for the artist. For buyers though it's a gimmick and the artist probably recognises that element too. Unfortunately that's the kind of thing people go for. Not cause it has greater quality or meaning to it, but because it's something a little different for the wall. I think the paintings are nicely done to be fair.

So, are the bills actually worth the face value PLUS art value??

Perhaps she should have printed some copies out? (As long as she doesn’t use it as forged money :P) I don’t know, my idea probably has flaws anyway...

There are people dying of hunger, people living in the streets and other horrible conditions and this person uses money as a canvas ?! I don't think that's original at all.... :( could have done some good with the wasted money, ex.g. have given it to a homeless person. There are enough surfaces suitable for drawing. Nice pictures though.

no. Please stop with the "there are people dying of hunger" line. it's cringy. How would using money as a canvas effect homeless people in any way? And plus, even if she didn't use her money for a canvas, i guarantee she wouldn't give it away.

If she doesn't need the money she could donate them instead? This just rubs me the wrong way. People are trying too hard to be 'unique' these days. It's stupid.
