21 year-old Bhavya Puntajal from Indirapuram, Ghaziabad has joined London video games company Flick Solitaire with his traditional India deck illustrating legendary figures from Indian history. According to a press statement, Flick Solitaire the finest card game on mobile keeps dealing the decks that artists, art lovers and fans are FLICKING fanatical about. More than a mobile game, Flick Solitaire's tiny team based in London have decided to make art and their artists the focus of their video game. Bhavya joins 12 talented and bold artists already commissioned since June 2020 (and many more planned into 2021). The twelve court cards are a real triumph in telling traditional stories from Indian history. From infamous love stories and war of renowned Hindu military general, Baji Rao I, to India's original heroic warrior queen, Rani of Jhansi.
Speaking to Asian Voice, Bhavya Puntajal said, “When Ian(CEO Flick games) approached me to collaborate on his game(Flick Solitaire), I thought working on this project would be like a typical freelancing experience. To the contrary, I found out that I would get a lot of artistic liberty this time to create whatever I want! The idea of having my designs in a playable game was very new to me. I decided to stick to my culture and create a deck based on Indian architecture, designs, patterns and legends. Ian helped a lot during the entire process and was valuable in conveying his feedback at every step.”
