On the Cards

On the Cards (Credit Card Collection)

Life’s a gamble, the stakes are high,
A patchwork of fates under a painted sky.
Red for passion, black for despair,
Kings and Queens dance in a delicate affair.

This mixed-media piece employs layered textures and collaged elements, blending acrylics with printed motifs to convey a sense of spontaneity and intrigue. Bold strokes of red and black dominate, creating a dynamic tension, while playing card imagery adds narrative depth. Techniques include scraping, layering, and stenciling, with a nod to abstract expressionism and pop art sensibilities. The result is a vibrant interplay of chaos and order.
