Description
Inspired by a scene the artist encountered in northern Egypt, The Chess Players captures a quiet, intimate moment between a father and his son playing chess in the middle of their family's date palm farm. Against a backdrop of oversized chess-piece silhouettes and warm, sunlit colours, the two figures lean towards the board, absorbed in a game that becomes more than a contest of strategy. It is a moment of connection, shared concentration and unspoken understanding between generations. The contrast between the familiar simplicity of everyday life and the monumental chess imagery adds a playful, symbolic dimension to the composition, suggesting that life itself is a game of patience, choices and lessons passed from one generation to the next.Created digitally on a graphics tablet and printed as a single, unique edition on cotton canvas, the artwork is signed by the artist.Medium: Digital art, printed on cotton canvasDimensions: 86.6 × 65 cmEdition: Unique, one-of-a-kind print, signed by the artist
Presentation
Mohamed Taha (b. 2002, Saudi Arabia) is a Sudanese digital artist based in Khartoum, Sudan. Entirely self-taught, he developed his artistic practice through independent exploration of digital media, using experimentation as both a technical and conceptual foundation. His early relocation from Saudi Arabia to Sudan profoundly shaped his understanding of place, identity, and cultural belonging—subjects that continue to inform his work. Alongside his artistic practice, Taha studies Psychology and French Language at the Faculty of Arts, University of Khartoum.
Working primarily in digital painting, Taha documents the rhythms of everyday Sudanese life, transforming ordinary moments into emotionally resonant visual narratives. Through layered compositions, cinematic lighting, and immersive atmospheric color, his works elevate fleeting experiences into reflections on memory, resilience, and collective identity.
The ongoing conflict in Sudan has become a defining influence on his recent practice. In response, his work has evolved from quiet observation into an act of cultural preservation, recording the beauty, traditions, and humanity that persist despite displacement and uncertainty. As an emerging voice in contemporary digital art, Taha continues to build a body of work that celebrates the endurance of everyday life while preserving the visual memory of a culture under threat.
