About the Work
About the Artist

Another Kingdom: Diamond Age continues the chess series set within the Yoomoota Universe, enriching it with the glow of gemstones. It reflects on three timeless patterns of interaction — confrontation, truce, and escape. This chess set captures a moment of silence amid the chaos of battle, when opposing kingdoms realize the futility of war. Here, the pursuit of knowledge and safety outweighs the drive for conflict, opening the path to a peaceful future. The work conveys that true power lies not in weapons but in wisdom — brilliant as a diamond. Each set includes an NFC chip, certifying the artwork’s authenticity and recording its digital provenance.

Taras Zheltyshev (Taras Yoom) is an international multidisciplinary artist and designer, the creator of the Yoomoota art universe, and a participant in major exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the United States. His approach to collectible design merges the organic and the artificial, exploring the human condition and its relationship with the world through his signature style of biomorphic surrealism. Combining original techniques and symbolic thinking, Zheltyshev constructs a fantastical universe where functional objects become tools for investigating all dimensions of human experience — from physiology to emotional states and the perception of reality.

Beginning his creative journey in the field of object and collectible design, he has received international acclaim and numerous professional honors, including the A’ Design Award, International Design Awards, Good Design Awards, and recognition from Elle Decoration. He has also developed a parallel body of work in painting and sculpture. His design techniques include custom modeling, metalwork and woodworking, casting and forming, 3D printing, laser cutting, mixed materials, and hand-finishing using textiles, acrylics, and polymers.

Today, Yoomoota objects are part of private collections in Paris, London, Seoul, Brussels, New York, and Moscow, and have been featured in Financial Times, Forbes, Elle Decoration, Designboom, and other leading publications.
