  They say: The figures of this deck were inspired by the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot,
• designed and described by renowned English occultist Arthur Edward Waite for the young painter and illustrator of
• books, Pamela Colman Smith, who created them in 1909. This tarot, without a doubt the most famous in the world, has
• been the object of many attempts at imitation and was the source of inspiration for numerous decks that are still on the
• market.
  
  For the first time, the images created by Smith for the New Vision Tarot were designed by rotating the
• perspective 180 degrees (the figure is no longer seen from the front, but rather from the back). What the depicted
• figures have in front of them or behind them can therefore be discovered (depending on the angle). This is not simply a
• figurative peculiarity but an ulterior extension of meanings. Some symbolic elements, where possible, were also added in
• order to come closer to the traditional symbols.
  
  One of the greatest difficulties when the new images were
• designed was the angle of the Kings and Queens seen from the back on the throne. The problem was identical for
• many Major Arcana such as the High Priestess, the Emperor, the Hierophant, the Chariot, and Justice. While realizing
• this project some of the cards required 'artistic' license for the enlargement or reduction of the size of the figures and
• objects in relation to their original position. For some cards, for example the High Priestess and Justice, the edge of a
• curtain located behind them was allowed to fall in order to make the main character more visible.
  
  People who
• currently use the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot now have a convenient deck that represents its complement and its
• completion. Thanks to the New Vision Tarot, a new and enlarged image of each card is possible for more profound
• reflection. As if wanting to emphasize the coincidences of life, in order to illustrate this tarot two twin brothers were
• chosen thanks to their modern and effective colors with a clean line: Raul and Gianluca Cestaro. A man and his twin, a
• coin and its other side, a person and his opposite point of view, the Rider-Waite tarot and this deck: All for broadening
• knowledge... and awareness.
