Photographer and artist
LAURENCE CHERNIAK reflects, in his designs, the richness of the rain
forests, the serenity of wondrous sunsets and the abundance of wildlife. |
We are gently submerged to the realms of the ocean bottom at Cocos Island and then lifted to the top of the awe-inspiring Arenal volcano. We swim with sharks and watch the metamorphosis of butterflies. We are carried through the jungle canopy and led on a hike through rain forests. All these explorations are included in several of his very realistic paintings and photography, making these playing cards not only diverse in nature, but also documenting his mystical adventures. | ||

| Laurence is currently working on his next pack of playing cards, which is a Souvenir of Costa Rica. We are awaiting for some pre-view images to arrive. | |||

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
