Estimated Value: $1,800-$2,160 This card is based on a Tarot card image. The Art card in Tarot is also sometimes called Alchemy. The artistic and alchemical aim is to combine elements so that something average can become something special. Of the four elements, fire and water are the most opposite so their unification represents the most challenging blending. The energy and element blending is not just about creating something on a physical level but also represents internal change. The figures are the Emperor and the Empress combining forces. As with our personal life journey, the circumstances that induce change can be painful. The old self has to die before a more enlightened version of ourself can emerge, just as the phoenix burns before it is reborn from the ashes.

Catherine Pring's Perspective
Artist's commentary
I love the way the colour is fresh and printmakerly in areas and more textured/ painterly in other areas. The contour lines are loose and free, defining the images but integrated.
