About the Artist

Another Kingdom: Dichotomy is the newest chapter in the chess series within the Yoomoota art universe, exploring the allegorical struggle between two kingdoms. The piece illustrates the confrontation of light and darkness, both within the human soul and the world. This chess goes beyond traditional strategy games, inviting players to face the ethical dilemmas inherent in their choices. Here, there is no room for hesitation, complex motivations, or shades of gray — only pure opposition, with nothing in between.

The creation process involves 3D printing, molding, sculpting, and polymer casting, complemented by hand finishing and acrylic painting. 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, creator of the immersive art universe Yoomoota, and a participant in major contemporary art exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the United States. His paintings, sculptures, and installations merge the organic and the artificial, exploring human nature and our relationship with the world through the signature style of biomorphic surrealism. Combining contemporary techniques with traditional craftsmanship, he creates 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.

Zheltyshev began his artistic journey in collectible design, earning recognition from the international design community through awards such as the A’ Design Award, International Design Awards, Good Design Awards, and Elle Decoration. He later developed an independent practice in painting and sculpture, working at the intersection of craftsmanship and technology. His artistic techniques include oil and acrylic painting, lithography, graphite drawing, assemblage, hand modeling, 3D printing, and digital art.

Today, Taras Zheltyshev’s works are held in private collections in Paris, London, Seoul, Belgium, Miami, New York, and Moscow, and have been featured in Forbes, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel, The Art Newspaper, and GQ.
