La Quiniela Book - a collection of designs by 100 top artists around the world
La Quinela is a game people in the beginning preferred to play illegally, in secret and it consists of betting small amounts of money every day. I think the reason why it's so popular is that most Argentinians dream of hitting the jackpot.
In this game people would put their money on a number based on what they had dreamed about the night before or on something that had happened in their lives; important events such as a wedding (N•63), the birthday of a daughter (N•15), the death of a loved one (N•47) or something as simple as the bad weather (N.83)
Personally, I was always intrigued by the illicit aspect of the game and all the persons who were part of this ritual, the fact that they could analyse your dreams and tell you on which number you needed to bet.
Since the Quíniela consists of 100 numbers and they have 100 different meanings I thought it would be a good idea to ask 100 tattoo artists to give their interpretation of the game. Thirty-five of these 100 are Argentinians and so they know La Quiniela well.
The rest has never seen or heard anything of La Quiniela, so their interpretations are not influenced by any prior knowledge.
There are many games of chance all over the world, but I can assure you none of them are like La Quiniela Argentina.
Collected in this book there are 100 unique works of art which I hope you will enjoy as much as I do.
