Fine arts bachelor's diploma - artistic object, various media, 2017.
"The Games" are an artistic deck of cards - but not only.
It is a response to the current development of the entertainment industry.
It's fun that draws on different definitions of the word 'game'.
This is the author's response to the sexual self-awareness of modern society.
The card functioning system has changed with the changing of the world. The figures "have gone with the times". Seduction, lies and dressing up are just some of their plays. The four colors have been individualized and given sovereignty. The relationships between card colors and types of temperaments, seasons, elements and vital forces have been taken into account. Symbolism and attributes of sexuality take part in the definition of the roles presented.
The independence of colors influenced the number of Jokers in the deck - one for each color. Twenty figures, including Aces and Jokers, were made in various techniques, on photo paper with dimensions 24 x 17.8 cm. The prints were colored with Ecoline watercolor paints. Workshop graphics using the same format were used to create cards with numbers from 2 to 10. The reverse was made in the technique of colorful lithography on 80 cm x 70 cm paper. The figures and the reverse have been digitally documented and prepared for printing along with the rest of the card designs. "The Games" format deviates from the canon of a standard deck of cards - it is larger and wider. An important element of the bachelor's diploma is "Five Great Figures", the original game system "The lucky number" and an explanation of the symbolism of figures and colors.
