Statement
Chess is a game based on strict rules which allows billions of situations. For a long time, it inspired mathematicians, players and artists. I use 2D and 3D computer graphics in the search for intellectual wonder of perceiving a mathematical concept together with the aesthetic pleasure of viewing a beautiful image. The beauty of chess encouraged me to investigate possibilities of concave-convex surfaces, upside-down orientation, inner and outer space, color variations, fractals and so on. Here are some of these images.

The figures of this chess cube are simultaneously inside and outside it. They are puzzled enough preparing their moves. But who is the Red Queen playing for?
