About The Artwork

والله ولي التوفيق w Allah wali Al-Tawfiq [Wallahu waliut Tawfieq], „Und bei Allah ist der Erfolg/das Gelingen.“ „وَمَا تَوْفِيقِي إِلاَّ بِاللّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ“ „Und es gibt für mich kein Gelingen außer durch Allah. Auf Ihn vertraue ich und an Ihn wende ich mich.“ 2010 22ct gold, watercolours, tea-dyed paper; about 25 x 38 cm Calligraphy: Hüsseyin, 1983 The calligraphy is glued onto the prepared paper, the base color is applied and the previously developed design is sketched on it. The calligraphy is surrounded by a triple braided ribbon between two narrow borders. The golden painted Hatay tendrils (floral shapes) are not polished as usual, but shimmer with the slightly rough surface of the unpolished gold. The tendril of Rumi forms (stylized wing shapes) is drawn as negative form only with the white contour lines. This particular form, where each wing consists of further, smaller Rumi forms, is called "Hurde-Rumi". Two flower shapes are drawn on the calligraphy paper.

Shipping & Returns

Delivery Time:Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

The painting technique of these Illuminations comes from the painting school of the Top Kapi Palace in Istanbul and from the private seminar of Prof. Dr. Süheyl Ünver. Each work begins with a design, a drawing that is constructed with compass and ruler and has to be transferred to the prepared paper. Then 22ct gold is painted with a brush on all designated surfaces, afterwards the colors. Each one is contoured black, so the work unfolds from the center gradually like a rising flower. I am focussing on traditional bookpainting and miniaturepainting since 2004 with Illuminations and by teaching in courses and workshops.
