Art and gambling share the same essence. Both are about risk, unpredictability, and the thrill of chance. A gambler places their bets, not knowing the outcome, just as an artist throws paint onto a canvas, trusting their instincts.  Some people say art is a gamble, but for these artists, that wasn’t just a metaphor - they actually hit the casinos, played poker, spun the roulette wheel, or bet on horses.
