The High Priestess Card Print

Hello, my name is Eman Magdy and I'm a self-taught artist based in Cairo, Egypt. My passion is painting with watercolor. My higher education and career are in a different field but I always loved playing with colors and drawing, I started painting regularly at the age 39. My first art project was about telling a personal story through the lens of anthropology exploring migration and back to home, and to tell my story I used tarot cards as a medium. I redesigned and painted 10 tarot cards that represented my story and in the design I brought forward my upbringing culture. The project was exhibited within a group exhibition in 2022 in Cairo at Contemporary Image Collective with the title "Being Borrowed". I also wrote a booklet for the cards interpretation which included texts of my personal story. This art project was then reproduced as a game in a limited edition prints and it comes in a handmade packaging.
