Red Tulip with Muraqqa Technique
£340.00This artwork is made using Murakka technique.
Murakka is a type of traditional art created by gluing various artworks on top of each other on cardboard. In this example, the artist has combined three different ebru styles: battal (stone pattern), çiçek (floral) and kumlu (sandy), all designed to complement one another. The artist has used the battal ebru style to create the outer frame of this work, which is one of the basic patterns and is widely used in marbling, and the kumlu ebru style to create the inner frame, which is usually applied as a thin sill, drawn on the edges of the flowered marbling. The tulip is one of the hardest flower to make on the surface especially because there is no room for correction. Furthermore, In the Islamic numerology Tulip carries the same value as Allah.

The calligraphy in the artwork that reads as ‘illal mawaddata’ in Arabic is a verse from the Holy Qur’an (Surah Ash-Shura 42:23). It is translated as ‘[but] only amity]. This means that some good deeds or favours may have no return. The amity becomes the only and most precious return. The text was created using akkase ebru technique, one of many unique ebru styles. This technique is achieved by masking a pre-designed and perfectly cut pattern, miniature, or writing, which is then pasted on the paper surface and marbled in the desired colours.
