4 of Spades / Playing Arts

•

The contest

Each contestant was asked to create an artwork for one particular card in his distinct style and technique. 536 artists from 67 different countries submitted their entries.

55 best artworks will form the new Playing Arts Special Edition deck.

The card assigned to me is the "4 ♠ Spades". It's the pure union of my style with the deep symbolism of this card. In the context of spirituality the "4 ♠ Spades" for the tarot indicates a need for space. You need time and quiet to really get in touch with your soul and the universal energies around us all.

I wanted to symbolize this moment of relaxing of the body and soul representing a girl immersed in a dreamy and ethereal space made of clouds and pastel colors - elements that also distinguish my personal style.
