About "Playing chess against your own shadow"

by Jan Keteleer

About the artwork

This painting, "Playing chess against your own shadow," is a profound exploration of the inner complexities of human nature. At its center, a man engages in a tense chess match against his own shadow, both players using only black pieces. This choice of color embodies the intrinsic duality of good and evil that resides within us all.
The man represents our conscious, strategic side, while his shadow stands for the subconscious and instinctual parts of our psyche. The strategic placement of two windows allows sunlight to cascade through from opposite directions, bathing the room in a mystical glow. This light serves as a metaphor for enlightenment, truth, and clarity—a guiding force in our perpetual quest for self-awareness.
The room's atmosphere is steeped in mystery, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on their own internal battles. The interplay of light and shadow creates an ethereal setting that transports onlookers into a realm of introspection. The painting evokes a sense of intrigue, urging us to ponder our own choices and the dichotomies that define our existence.
In this visual narrative, every observer is called to witness the universal truth of our internal conflicts, appreciating the beauty and complexity of the human spirit, even amidst its shadows.
