I created these illustrations as part of my study in the illustration course offered on the Domestika platform, collaborating with illustrator Elisa Seitzinger. The objective of this course is twofold: to explore the field of commercial illustration and to acquire proficiency in diverse compositional techniques to enhance my professional work.
The Fool
The Fool card, the first in the tarot deck, symbolizes new beginnings, expanding horizons, and taking intuitive risks. 
Starting with this card was not a mathematical question; I chose it because of the moment I am living in: new beginnings and in the midst of uncertainty. Taking steps in the dark may seem crazy, but I understand it as the courage to rebuild my own story.
The Empress
The Empress embodies motherhood, creativity, and nurturing. Often depicted as pregnant in many decks, she symbolizes the creation of life, romance, art, or business. She also signifies the early stages of an idea, urging receptivity to change before its full fruition.

Below is a link to a video art I made for publication on social media about the process of illustrating the empress:
