Product Description

Tarot by Yankovskaya is an original series displaying Masha Yankovskaya’s interpretation of the Tarot’s major arcana through 21 unique paintings. In her art, Yankovskaya rethinks the major arcana in the context of modernity, and along the way, raises the eternal themes of being. The Tarot series showcases Yankovskaya s recognisable style, with contemporary minimalism mixed with esoteric symbolism.
Yankovskaya began working on the series in 2020. “Revisualize. Rethink. Redraw. She decided, and that is what she did for the next nine months. The work was completed in March 2021 and soon after the paintings were exhibited, the limited-edition silkscreen prints were launched.
The Hermit symbolises the unity of the earthly and heavenly, alongside the search for a life path and purpose. In many cases, it may hint at the success of a search and that the person will find a teacher or mentor along the way. While working on Hermit, which also represents alienation and loneliness, the artist lived as such, being quarantined due to the pandemic.
