Ecco Cards – A visual journey through abstraction and imagination
About this deck
The
Ecco Cards by artist John David Ellis are a unique set of 99 abstract miniature paintings that invite you to pure imagination and creative freedom. These cards are not a traditional oracle, but an artistic experience in themselves. Each card is a gateway to interpretation, introspection or simply aesthetic enjoyment. The set appeals to artists, coaches and dreamers alike.
Symbolism and themes
The word “Ecco” in Italian means: “Here it is!” – a fitting title for a set that asks you to look, feel and give meaning yourself. Without fixed meanings or predefined systems, the cards leave room for free association. Each image evokes images: landscapes, inner worlds, patterns or emotions. They reflect your mood, your fantasy or your subconscious.
