The Marseille Companion
Stands as a visual journey through the soul of the artist. In a
recreation of what is known as “Star Spread” – a five card spread, using
the formidable archetypes and virtues prescribed in The Tarot De
Marseille. One of the oldest known and complete tarot deck in human
history, originated in Italy during the 15th century. Initially used as a
simple card game to pass the time, the tarot has picked up many
mysticisms of its power and intended use over centuries. The Series of
works depict a visceral portrayal of ones reality and forces the painter
to question the very foundation of ones existence against the universal
values found in the cards.
“For me the tarot is sacred. It has a being and a definitive purpose
which lends to its divinity, making it an illuminating traveling
companion.” -Dustin Nowlin
