Geometric portraits, chess, and music converging in one painting is a bold conceptual move. That kind of layered thinking is what makes surrealism actually work.

Dray, I've been thinking about how geometric structure holds a face together lately, especially when you're layering pattern over likeness. Chess already has that grid logic built in, so you've got natural geometry before you even start the portrait. Do the chess elements dictate the composition, or do you let the face break the board apart?

Hey Dray! Geometric portraits meeting chess and music is such a compelling ambition, that's three visual languages layering at once. Are you working in a series right now or jumping between ideas?
