This piece ( see the pictures that shows the entire sculpture with basement and support) is the Third version of a Bishop portrait in sculpture of chess game: indeed this series is part of my last research over the Chess game, its pieces formes, the silhouettes and its easthetics: I created a big Installation with all the chess pieces in sculptures and figures  and several pantings and sketches as a storyboard of the research. 
In these sulpture, my stylistic note is a large use of wood, metal and expanded foam, all harmonized in a composition finished with a special papier-mache, macerated for days, blended and resin-coated: with this I try to offer to the viewer metaphorical interpretations of the temporal dimension lived through metaphorical symbols and presences...
