In creating this work, I imagined the creation of one of the oldest, most magical, and mysterious strategy games in history: chess. I depicted it starting with the birth of the first piece, the knight. I wanted to capture the essence of the game and of creation, blending the metaphysical with surrealism. The hands emerging from nowhere represent an invisible power that guides life and strategy, while the knight, a symbol of movement and change, comes to life on the eternal chessboard of reality.
