Description
High res image of the set -FULL VIEW PLEASE - from the depths of my oceans to a part of my life.

Hyper Surreal Fractalic Mystical Chess - My Masterpieces is a project I have been subconsciously working on since I started exploring the cosmos of 3D fractals in 2010. I have always admired Max Ernsts, Marcel Duchamps and Dalís sets, but I wanted a set which was more true to the original idea of surrealism. With the help of 3D fractals and 3D printing I could make it a reality.

To construct the pieces I have been using the very best of my artworks,
my masterpieces, from a period of over 4 years.

The full set is a play in 7 acts about humanity, the evolution and the quest for knowledge through enlightenment and superfluity until the day when mankind finally became the plague of the planet.
* Each piece has its own character and story.
* Each piece is a piece of art in itself.
* Each piece has a (surreal) resemblance to a standard chess set.
* The pieces are robust, not hollowed and light like many 3D printed objects.

My surreal mind + 3D fractal formulas + years of work > MB3D > Fiji > Meshlab > Blender > Netfabb > Shapeways > Your chess board
