Memento Mori: Genesis Playing Cards
“You too can achieve immortality by doing just one great thing.” — A Lonely Robot
A timeless design reimagined in three dimensions.
Memento Mori: Genesis is Adrian Valenzuela’s striking reimagining of the widely celebrated Memento Mori playing card design. What began as a personal challenge to recreate the iconic artwork using only 3D software evolved into a fully rendered masterpiece that brings a fresh perspective to the familiar low-poly skull.
Unlike earlier versions featuring individually coloured polygons, Genesis showcases a stunning collection of glass-like geometric facets illuminated by photorealistic lighting. The result is a spectacular spectrum of colours, depth and visual detail that captures the distinctive artistic identity of the Memento Mori series.
Combining modern digital artistry with a bold, unforgettable aesthetic, Memento Mori: Genesis celebrates creativity, transformation and the pursuit of lasting impact.
Never forget your humble beginnings. Create something that will be remembered.
