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 collection includes the piece based on The Devil, but Yankovskaya refuses to draw the image of Lucifer, instead presenting this card in the form of a nude girl in ecstasy, to which the black hand of darkness reaches. The Devil card reminds us of the temptations we try to forget, or do not wish to acknowledge. This card can symbolise sex or wealth; it reflects our dark sides. It is often better not to avoid something that is forbidden, but to recognise it and deal with it.
