A Note from the artist:

I began with the idea of the flames burning in front of a pyromaniac and thought about the beauty he probably sees in them, maybe as flame dancers, and that is how the fire started.

The main problem with it was how to make each court different if they were suppose to be all in flames, all the same color, etc... So i tried to give each one of them a particular air.

-The club court has vegetal details, the color is a little orange-softer, i tried to make them kinder than the rest.

-The diamond court has little details of jewellery, and more yellow than the others. The queen has a rich organized brench, pearls and a certain desdain, the king is crowning himself, and the jack exhibits himself proudly.

-The heart court is the most simple of the courts because i wanted it to be a little dark and pure as desire.

-The spade court is easier to explain, all of them hold spades, knifes or a spear of fire, the cards have more red to remember the blood or the anger and all of them have an agresive attitude.

The jokers are the magician in the tuck case, is the Pyromaniac who was finally burnt by the flames and has become a flame skeleton devil, who plays with the burning cards coming out from his top hat.

And then all those spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds remain inside of the top hat, with the fabric liner holding them until they come out to play their magic.
