This page illustrates a different version of a chessman, more exactly the queen. I drew it with the help of tempera colours on a 500x700 mm sheet of paper. I used brown and yellow to create contrast between the ornate elements and tried to use a totally modern and new style. All chessmen have the same design, but the colours are different and I think that the entire chessboard is more attractive than the classic one. With this picture I want to acknowledge the idea that everything 'old-fashioned' could be resurrected and creativity has no limits. It comes from every day life and from things that have already been invented, there always being room left for improvements.
