The Fortune Maker | Original | Richard Blunt

The Fortune Maker by Richard Blunt

Bold, enigmatic, and effortlessly cool, The Fortune Maker is a commanding original painting by celebrated figurative artist Richard Blunt. With a face hidden beneath a wide-brimmed hat and hands that speak in symbols, the figure exudes control, confidence, and quiet mystery. The Ace of Spades—a universal emblem of power, fate, and luck—is held deliberately, as if the future itself is being dealt.

Blunt’s trademark cinematic lighting and rich use of gold leaf create a striking contrast between opulence and shadow. Every detail, from the sharp tailoring to the glint of a luxury watch, reinforces the theme: fortune isn’t found—it’s made.

The Fortune Maker challenges the viewer to consider who truly holds the cards in life. A magnetic and thought-provoking addition to any serious art collection.
