The record
The Japaridze Tarot Card Deck has been created by the contemporary, surrealist artist Nino Japaridze. Born in 1961, in Tbilisi, Georgia, Nino Japaridze is a talented artist. She has widely exhibited her works since her childhood. After completing her studies in the Fine Arts Academy, she moved to Paris and began exhibiting her work all across Europe. Today, she works and lives in Paris with her daughter, Anna. The Cards As soon as you open the beautiful box that the cards come in, you will realize the amount of care that was taken to create a beautiful home for these exquisite cards. The first thing you will probably do after you pull out the book (about which I shall talk in a bit), is look at the images of the cards. I simply couldnt stop myself from gasping aloud at the beauty of these images. Perhaps it is my innate love of surrealistic art, but as I looked at each card, I felt that I could so easily get lost into the vast landscape of the world depicted within these images. As I looked and looked, I could sense the depth of thought and sincere efforts that went into the making of these cards. Nino Japaridze has used a beautiful blend of oil, acrylic, gouache, ink and collage
