Ebru

Ebru

I started creating  Ebru Art, aka Art of Marbling, in 2022. Ebru is the ancient art of beautiful patterns by sprinkling color pigments on a pan with a special mix and then floating this pattern on paper. In the 13th century, the first forms of Ebru emerged in Central Asia. Later, practiced by the artists in Ottoman Empire. Colors consist of ox-gall kind of natural acid helping the colors sprinkle on the gum so prepared as to float upon preparation of condensed liquid with the use of kite kind of herbal gum, possessing certain properties to the colors prepared for the purpose and which color floated and formed into patterns upon the surface of the liquid, are taken off by laying on a sheet of paper. Ebru's philosophy of calmness with its unique art form cannot be reproduced with the same design.

Pattern Types: Gelgit, Tarakli, Hatip, Bülbül Yuvası, Çiçekli.

Most used colors in Ebru: Light green, Red, Yellow. 

Designs: Flowers, Foliage, Ornamental, The first quarter of the moon.

Ebru is registered on the list of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

This fascinating art form originated in Central Asia during the 13th century and later flourished under the expert hands of the Ottoman Empire's artists. Creating Ebru involves meticulously sprinkling color pigments on a pan filled with a special mix, then capturing the resultant floating patterns on paper. This art is distinct for its use of unique materials such as ox-gall, a natural acid that facilitates the color sprinkling on the prepared gum, and kitre, a herbal gum that gives unique properties to the colors used. The colors float on the condensed liquid, forming distinctive patterns that, upon transferring onto paper, create the inimitable and tranquil Ebru designs.
The art form boasts a variety of pattern types, including Gelgit, Tarakli, Hatip, Bülbül Yuvası, and Çiçekli. The most commonly used colors are light green, red, and yellow, allowing artists to create diverse designs like flowers, foliage, ornamental, and the moon's first quarter. Owing to its historical significance and cultural depth, Ebru Art has been recognized and registered on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list.
