Hello! Believe it or not, I havn't checked here in over a year so I just saw this.
Sorry about the delay!
Yes you're pretty spot on! It's a painting of a stage play about a relationship that hasn't been going well and is over.
Cards are close but a losing hand, dice same thing. Suitcase and hourglass you figured out.
Ring on the table - it's over.
That's so much for looking!!

Wow, it's very impressive. Your technique is awesom. I also like the composition of this piece. I feel like I could watch it for hours and keep finding new things to look at. I'm curious what these objects mean to you.

This is a story about a romance that has gone horribly wrong. It is a dramatic representation and I really wanted it to feel like a play about this relationship rather than just commentary. The idea and look of the painting were inspired by the Stanley Kubrick film "Eyes Wide Shut".
The female mask on the left is sitting on a stack of books and the Peacock feathers are considered bad luck on stage. The male mask on the right is sitting on a suitcase with an obvious reference there. The hour glass is empty, not a grain of sand left in it. The single gold goblet represents that only one of them is doing the drinking. The cards are the 3,4,5, and 6 of spades and then the A of diamonds. A losing hand, one card shy of a straight flush. The dice come out to six with snake eyes facing out but not up. The huge engagement ring sits out on the table. This relationship is not just over it's dead, nothing left.
Many people have had their own interpretations, some even saw this as a fun optimistic painting with carnival references. I will not argue........ It is whatever you see in it.
Thank you for looking!

Wow! So I was sort of close in my own original guess.... Cool.
Seriously though, this is so beyond impressive. This kind of depth and symbolism woven with such skill, it's the stuff of the Masters!!!
