Baht-ul Divane Tarot Deck

Story of the Composition Hello My new project has a concept that contains Persian symbols and pre-Islamic myths and I try to break the mold by blending them.My main goal in this project was to push my creativity in a new direction while staying true to the eastern miniature style of this period.

​

Understanding the unique eastern coloring methods and examining western miniatures from the same period had been in the back of my mind for a long time, and thanks to this project, I had the opportunity to blend these two unique methods.While creating the cards, I tried to take care to carry their meanings to different stages by breaking down stereotyped symbols and myths. Thus, I had the freedom to get rid of fixed stories and create a more original narrative.

​

While preparing the illustrations, I tried to do my best to capture the card readers with the fluidity of the images and to ensure that each card gains meaning with its own reader. Making different interpretations with symbols that are not tied to a fixed story, but also familiar to many, gives people an incredible pleasure.

I thought that Persian definitions would be more appropriate for this unique project, and it was a different experience to place these designs on the cards.
