Description
The " Page of Swords" is an acrylic painting on canvas, measuring 11" x14" . It is my contribution to the 78Tarot project' s 4th Tarot deck (" Astral" ) published in 2017. My card, " Page of Swords" , represents a messenger of words and ideas. The card is traditionally depicted with the page standing on a rocky cliff, overlooking the sea. The wind blows the page' s hair. 10 flying birds and distant land can be seen in the background. In following with the sci-fi theme of the 78Tarot:Astral deck, I replaced the cliff with a floating chunk of space rock, and the birds are now comets. The landscape of the original card can be seen through an interdimensional portal, which is inscribed with symbols conveying the " message" . Seventy eight artists from around the world collaborated together on the 78Tarot project we were each assigned one card to interpret the Astral theme in our own style.
