About the artwork

This work shows a monumental chess piece, a horse, executed in a glossy, marble finish. The horse is surrounded by other chess pieces, carefully arranged on a black-and-white chequered chess board. The background consists of geometric shapes and reflective surfaces that give a sense of depth and complexity to the composition.

The style of this artwork is a mix of realism and cubism, combining the detailed depiction of the horse with abstract elements in the background. This combination creates a dynamic interaction between the shapes and lines, giving the work a modern yet timeless look. The influence of artists such as Marcel Duchamp, who was known for his cubist approach, and Escher, with his fascination for mathematical structures, is evident.

This artwork will look best in a minimalist-designed room where it can attract attention without being distracted by other decorative elements. A spot in a modern living room or office, with good lighting, would be ideal. The play of light and shadow on the shiny surface of the horse and chess pieces creates an intriguing visual effect that constantly changes depending on the light.

This piece is not only a visual treat but also a conversation piece, perfect for lovers of both art and chess. The combination of classic game pieces with a modern artistic twist makes it a unique and captivating piece.
