Experience chess sets in scintillating brilliance through the interpretation of Sydney Gruber.

CHESS SET COLLECTION

If you’re looking for a showstopper, you’re looking for a signature Sydney Gruber chess set. These works are hand-painted with love while celebrating life in color.

Sydney’s signature sets elevate the aesthetic beauty of chess and are found in homes and commercial spaces all over the world. “The chess sets come from a meditation with paint, and the game is called how to adapt,” Gruber says. “Chess is a mirror of energy reflecting the choices we have in our lives. Play as only you can but construct your ideas on success along the way.”

There is no higher compliment you can pay the artist than by bringing an original, one-of-a-kind chess set home and playing your game with artful strategy. With each chess set, Gruber hopes that her collectors appreciate the beauty of chess on two levels and that they find good moves, good company, and good energy.

Sydney is a full-time studio artist working out of Kentuck Art Center and enjoys being a part of this contemporary art renaissance.

Her work embodies the philosophy of recognizing the underlying beauty of layers—the potential—with immense attention to detail and depth play within the hues to encourage joy. Through vision and revision, her artistic endeavors crafted a personal panache signature.

She creates mostly abstract meditation paintings both large and small but also identifies as an alchemy artist rejuvenating home décor by giving them new life. Through organized chaos and captured energy, Sydney invites you into her world of motion and emotion through the mirror of art and hopes to bring a warm personal touch to your home.

Sydney Gruber is a visual storyteller who captures the incandescent pulse of life in color through her focal-point paintings. Her work explores freedom and self-discovery on canvas, translating the rich inner landscapes of her mind into vibrant, dynamic art.

A lifelong chess player, Sydney brings this same creative energy to her internationally collected line of custom chess sets—where strategy meets artistry in bold swirls, patterns, and color. Her pieces embody the balance of reason and passion, with a voice that is equal parts poet and pragmatist.

Based in Austin, TX, Sydney paints both in her studio and on location through her custom traveling showroom. Her her words: "Here's the honey—the real substance comes from pursuing the call, connecting with enthusiasm, and living in the discovery."
