Effort
This piece combines two different branches of traditional Turkish arts, illumination and calligraphy, and reflects a collaborative effort between two master artists. Master calligrapher Sahof Almustafa’s calligraphic text reads ‘’Er-rızku a’l Allah’’ (the Arabic for: Allah is the One who determines our rizq or sustenance). It is a common phrase used in Hüsn-i Hat that is usually written on a plaque and displayed, especially in workplaces and shops, as a continuous prayer for sustenance.
Artist Gülcan Acar used the art of illumination for its intended purpose, framing and decorating the calligraphic writing with the zencerek pattern (braided ribbon / chain pattern). She created an original frame-like pattern that highlights the text by combining different motifs and stylized flowers. These patterns, which are drawn in geometrical order, are intended to represent strips of the same thickness that appear as though they are knitted. The artist has also used the traditional Tezhip technique with the Rumi pattern, which is one of the most popular motifs in Tezhip art.
Elegance
Alif is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. It is regarded as the most important letter for many reasons. In sufism, Alif symbolises selfness of Allah and his unity.
This artwork was made with muraqqa technique.

Five poppies
This artwork was made with a muraqqa technique.
Muraqqa (Murakka) is an example of beautiful writing written on a paper glued on top of each other like cardboard. In the art of marbling, it is a form of sandy marbling with a thin sill drawn on the edges of the flowered marblings and arranged with a matching coloured battal on the outside. Tahrir is drawn in optional colours -usually gold or silver- around the sills.
