"There is hidden magic in everyday life." Marina Kalinovsky.

The chess Series is "...Pen, ink and black tea drawings on handmade paper, this collection is a result of my fascination with the game of chess and its history. It’s also a result of my love of history, arts and literature, and resentment of war. The game of chess is ancient and possesses philosophical, poetic and theatrical qualities. A chess board resembles a stage and chess pieces are symbolic of medieval royal courts and armies. Performances (moves) follow certain rules. Each of my drawings relates to a certain chess rule. Browsing through the volumes of literature about chess, one notices that the rules of the game sound like philosophical wisdoms. Chess, to me, is more than a game." - Marina Kalinovsky

Chess is indeed more than just a game. It is a mini allegory for life in many ways, wrapped up into 32 pieces and a checkered board. This art is intriguing to me so thank you for sharing.
