Chess and art have a deep and fascinating relationship. Chess is often seen as an art form in itself, because of the strategic depth, beauty of combinations and creative move patterns. At the same time, chess has inspired artists in various disciplines throughout the centuries, such as painting, literature and sculpture.
Every stroke, choice of colour and technique reflects the individual expression of the artist, which makes the painting stand out.
All original works are conventionally hand-painted: nothing is digital or printed.
The paintings are built up in many layers of acrylic paint. This layering in combination with the use of flat brushes creates beautiful and characteristic touches, which allows the painting to be viewed and interpreted in different ways. It contributes to the visual richness and complexity of the work.
No black is used in the paintings. Without black, everything is less hard and looks calmer. The acrylic paint dries matt and is therefore more pleasant to the eye, allowing all details to come into their own. For each painting the colours are specially mixed and although this is often time-consuming, it is all about the end result.
