Biography

Reza Antoszewska has worked with both traditional Turkish and Western Abstract application of Ebru. The calligraphy that is often integrated in her works are part of another great Islamic devotional art form that is particularly enhanced by the adornment of Ebru. Reza gratefully acknowledges the inspiration, guidance, critique and encouragement of Ebru Master: Feridun Ozgoren.

Reza employs gouache, oils, and acrylics on cotton paper and silk for her works






What is Ebru?

Often called Marbling in the West, this ancient contemplative art form originating in the Far East. Suminagashi, the Japanese version is still practiced in modern day Japan.

Ebru made it's way across the Silk Road to Turkey, where it evolved into a fine art print making, still practiced in modern day and is often associated with Sufis and Mystics.

The monoprint technique uses a thickened medium on which the artist places the paints by various methods, then works the colors in the medium with stylus, combs, and other methods to develop the designs. The print is then carefully transferred to the treated paper or fabric to capture the design.
