Ace of Texas (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Victor Selin

Ace of Texas is an 18k gold portrait built from Texas symbols, poker mythology, and controlled confidence.

The figure holds four aces, each carrying a Texas emblem. The hand is not just a game. It becomes a statement of value, risk, recognition, and belonging. Everything in the image points back to Texas: the hat, the gaze, the cards, the state forms, the star, the Alamo, and the quiet certainty of someone who knows exactly what they hold.

This piece is special because it treats Texas not as decoration, but as a symbolic language. The gold surface catches light like a prize, while the black ground keeps the image sharp, restrained, and serious. It has the presence of a Western portrait, but the structure of an icon.

Created in 18k gold on black ground, Ace of Texas is professionally archivally framed with Premium TrueVue museum glass for long-term presentation and protection.

A one-of-a-kind original for collectors who understand the value of the hand before anyone else sees the cards.
