The Joy

This piece includes a mosaic of three marbling artworks: battal ebru (stone pattern), çiçek ebru (floral), and zemin ebru (background / base), all designed to complement one another. The carnation, symbolising spring and renewal, is the centrepiece of this work of art, and is a prominent floral pattern not only in marbling but also in other traditional Turkish arts. Çiçek ebrusu (floral marbling), is one of the most important features that distinguishes Turkish marbling from other examples of marbling works around the world. Flowers unique to Turkish-Ottoman culture bloom in the marbling tray with the artists’ touches on the water. The artist has used battal ebru style, one of the most common marbling patterns, when designing the painting’s outer frame. Using zemin (background or base) ebru style to create the inner frame, she used a lighter colour to serve as a background for the flower.
