VIRES ET MORTEM

[ABSTRACT]

Combining contemporary and classical styles, this project is a custom deck of 52 playing cards titled, Vires et Mortem (Strength and Death), fully designed and illustrated to reflect my background, style, and influences. Inspired by the blend of traditional card designs with modern elements, this deck showcases unique takes on occult and medieval iconography through technical, contemporary illustrations. While playing cards are often overlooked, reimagining something so widely used was a meaningful creative challenge. This passion project allowed me to merge old and new, blending intricate medieval and occult themes with modern line work for my portfolio.
