Maria Vinicenco

Three illustrated tarot cards

This is a tarot card design. Project was inspired by poisonous plants and a short story "The Lady of The House of Love" by Angela Carter.

Hi, I’m Maria! I am an illustrator from Ukraine, currently based in Cambridge and Norwich.

My art captures dark fantasy and whimsical themes. I often take risks and experiment, so my choice of media varies from project to project. My favourites will forever be ink and working digitally, which led me into combining both analogue and digital approaches to achieve my final artwork. I get excited by working on concept art, designing products and creating interesting compositions. I also developed a passion for ceramics, and printmaking during the second year on this course.
