This painting is inspired by the history of the conquest of Constantinople, where two kings competed against each other, risking the fate of their kingdoms. This was not just a game on a board, but a major decision that would change the destiny and civilization of the world. The chessboard shows several moves that must be completed, inviting everyone who sees it to think about the most effective move to end the game and the move that must be made to defend it.
“The Big Bet” reminds us that history is always played out by human hands,
but the end result—as in chess—is always won by those who are able to think three moves ahead of destiny.
