Hatip ebru örnekleri 

Necmeddin Okyay created this “Hatip ebru örnekleri” using a traditional Turkish art form known as Ebru, or paper marbling. The process involves floating pigments on a tank of thickened water, manipulating them into patterns, and then transferring the design to paper. In this particular example, Okyay has created a floral motif with delicate, swirling patterns, and a sense of controlled chaos, typical of Ebru. Ebru requires mastery, precision, and patience. The artist must understand the properties of the materials – the specific gravity of the pigments, the viscosity of the water – to achieve the desired effects. It is a slow, meditative process, demanding a deep connection between the artist and the materials. Historically, Ebru was associated with the Ottoman court, and the skills were passed down through generations of artisans. Appreciating the deep knowledge of materials and processes involved allows us to see this work, not just as decoration, but as a cultural artifact embodying centuries of tradition.
