More about ‘The Art of Tarot’
Satya Paul’s ‘The Art of Tarot’ collection designed by multimedia artist Puneet Nanda, gives you
an opportunity to wrap yourself in a world of mysticism and magic. He brings forth the tarot
history by designing beautiful & intriguing pieces of art. He has indeed conceptualized the deck,
the collection, and shot the campaign for the collection. For him “Tarot is a vast and timeless
subject which deals with the whole of life. In keeping with the spirit to do things deeply and
passionately we have not only created the collection but a complete deck of cards for lovers of
tarot, for times to come”.

2. Sometime in the fifteenth century, in northern Italy, the first sets of tarot cards were created.
Centuries later, devotees of the occult arts in Europe encountered the tarot and saw mystical
and magical meaning in the symbolism of the cards. Since then it has fascinated soothsayers and
occultists and has been accepted universally.
Taking inspiration from the same, the collection is a mix of Indian and indo-western garments,
keeping in mind the sensibility of today’s woman!. Prints rule the collection, with each outfit
reflecting the cards in the most imaginative and beautiful fashion.
The fabrics for the collection have been woven to bring out the elegance and shine
effervescently to hint towards the multi-layered print and embroidered effects that have been
created. They are multi-media pieces of art in their own right. The colors of the collection are
taken from the cards themselves and run the gamut from soft muted tones to bright vivid ones.
There are metallic and matt effects created by modern techniques of fabric treatments. The
materials used range from the simple sequins to exotic stones and crystal sourced from around
the world. The surface textures with a closer eye would reveal just as the cards reveal numerous
hidden meanings.
The collection and the Tarot Deck itself will be available at the Satya Paul stores across India.
