Gran Tarot de los Tattwas      José Antonio Portela      Spain                                                   Art Medium: Pen and ink, pastel. Description: The Tattvas, in Eastern esotericism, are geometric figures of different colours symboliing the different vibrations experienced by the ether or primordial substance, leading to the four elements of nature (air, fire, water and earth). This tarot thus combines Western symbolism of the tarot with the Eastern Tattvas. Portela has written a number of books on the Tattwas, and issued another deck, the Tarot de Tattwas.
