A chessboard unfolds like an imaginary landscape in “Mystery” by Mariya Yugina. Tall, slender figures in turquoise, green, orange and golden yellow stand among its light and dark squares. Some have open, twisting shapes resembling crowns and spires, while a large orange horse’s head rises above them near the centre.
The board’s shifting perspective leads the eye between the figures. On the right, a golden arch opens onto a space of repeated blue-green fields. Further across, a dark-blue form contains a pale circle and delicate hanging details. A decorated cup and saucer sit below, while a cat can be glimpsed in the upper left behind the large curved form.
Warm red and orange shades on the left meet deep blue and cool green towards the right. Repeated shapes, openings and differences in scale give the scene a dreamlike quality, as though the chess game continues beyond the board itself. The title leaves the connections between these enigmatic details unresolved. The horizontal 100 × 70 cm format offers room to explore the painting’s many small stories.
