GANJIFA PLAYING CARDS
–
Ganjifa's are circular playing cards, which were introduced in India as a gift by the Persians in the 18th century. The cards were a set of 108, which were handpainted by the artists, the cards usually depicted the stories of the gods. Over the years the art of Ganjifa has declined.
To revive it, a modern approach was taken for designing the cards. Instead of using stories of gods which most people are unaware of today, the patterns which represent the Indian and Persian culture the best were combined to give it a more modern yet vintage, clean and sophisticated feel. The cards were hand drawn and then digitally painted.
Thank you!
