King of Hearts - Opposing Forces - Original Watercolor Painting

"King of Hearts" is a striking exploration of duality and the eternal struggle between virtue and vice. The painting depicts a regal king, his ornate crown and robe symbolizing authority and grandeur, pinned against a skeleton's stark, haunting form—a chilling embodiment of mortality and the darker forces of existence. Between them, a radiant gold-leaf heart gleams with divine intensity, its polished surface reflecting both figures as if holding their fates in balance. Surrounding the heart are pairs of opposing words symbolizing the tug-of-war between good and evil. Playing cards are attached to each king's robe and crown. The intricate composition invites contemplation of the choices that define humanity, as the heart becomes the ultimate battleground for the soul.

This a one of a kind Heather Dartez 48"x32" original watercolor painting on 1" gallery wrapped canvas.
