This reinterpretation of the King of Spades unravels the illusion of authority bound by tradition. Vulnerable, fragmented, and caught between impulse and duty, this figure doesn’t reign—he endures.
Oil on paper, layered with irony and emotion, The King Who Folded dismantles the stoic archetype. The sword and chalice remain, but their power is empty. This isn’t a ruler. This is the aftermath of the game—where masks fall and truth lingers.
