This unique work of art, a cohesion of calligraphy and marbling art, is entirely the artist’s own creation. The Ayah 152 from Surah Baqarah is written in calligraphy. The holy verse is translated as ‘Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you.’ The verse is written in the centre of Murakka Ebru. 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 two different ebru styles: battal (stone pattern), and kumlu (sandy), all designed to complement one another.
Materials:
- Plant-based dyes on paper & cardboard
- Ink for the Calligraphy
Dimensions:
- Without frame: 40 x 30 cm
