A large, stylised eye fills most of “Eyes of chess” by Mariya Yugina. Long, dark lashes extend across a vivid blue background, while the eye’s reflective surface contains a landscape of curved forms, chessboard-like fields and a receding perspective. Warm copper, orange and brown shades meet cool blue and turquoise tones.
On the left, circular blue openings recur within the simplified facial forms. The largest contains an orange sphere above a pale, cloud-like band, with a thin pointed shape extending towards the eye. In the lower right, a small blonde woman in a long, dark-red dress stands beside a blue railing. A narrow ladder and an elongated reddish-brown perspective connect her surroundings with the painting’s larger, dreamlike space.
The striking differences in scale create a scene in which looking, reflection and imagination merge. The title and chessboard-like details may suggest seeing possibilities and considering the next move, without providing a single, fixed narrative. The vertical 60 × 70 cm format emphasises the encounter between the monumental eye and the small figure.
