Stamp for Swiss Post

Catherine created a stamp to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the International Chess Federation.
Inspired from the energy and dynamism of the Italian art movement ‘Futurism’, she experimented with bold shapes and intricate composition to embody the calculated tactics used by players to outsmart their opponents

"My concept was to highlight geometric shapes, intersecting and intertwining to symbolize the game’s strategy. I played with rich colors with light and dark tones, to evoke the chessboard and the game’s essence.
Finally, I wanted the chessboard’s pattern weaving through the scene and serving as a unifying element that highlights the connection the game brings to players worldwide"

"On a personal note, what I really loved about this project was that, despite having no skills in playing and little knowledge of chess, I discovered numerous parallels between the game and my work. I thrive on creating intricate designs, meticulously placing every small detail and texture with care and thought, which ultimately isn’t too far from the world of chess"
