Certificate of Authenticity
TALASKY (b. 1990), born as Gyula Takacs, is a multidisciplinary hungarian artist, graduated architect, and industrial designer. His work blends structural thinking with conceptual expression, using both digital and handcrafted techniques. The artist has received international awards and recognitions in design and art, and his artworks have been collected and sold in monre than 20 countries across Europe, Asia, and North America. He has exhibited his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Europe, including Milan, Helsinki, Berlin and Budapest. Under the artist name TALASKY, he creates bold, pop-up mixed-media pieces that explore geometry, vivid color combinations, strategy, and the poetic tension of the chessboard. As a chess player, he brings strategic insight directly into his art.
In this piece TALASKY transforms the chessboard into a sculptural meditation on power, consequence, and the final quiet moment of a long struggle.
Scuplted and 3D-printed abstract chess forms rise from a hand-crafted geometric board, their interplay of color, structure, and shadow evoking the tension between movement and stillness. Pieces that extend beyond the frame represent those that have been “taken” or removed from the game: figures whose influence lingers even after their fall. Their placement outside the grid becomes a reminder that every victory, every position, every checkmate is built on earlier sacrifices.
Within the board, the remaining pieces hold the final moment of decision: instant the crown drops. Here, checkmate is not portrayed as defeat, but as transformation: a shift from control to acceptance, from strategy to clarity.
By distilling the drama of chess into color, form, and space, TALASKY invites viewers to see the board as a portrait of life itself: structured yet boundless, confined yet full of possibility, shaped by every move that came before.
