Artist Comments
Artist Rachel Srinivasan displays a surrealist interpretation of the seven of swords card. She paints the mysteries of tarot and the unseen magical world that comes with the lore. "It's a playful illustration of the card, which is sometimes called the thief card," says Rachel. A white humanoid bison wields blades, representative of its stolen hearts in the midst of the pale blue night. Part of Rachel's ongoing Tarot series.

About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. "My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer," she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.
