Ebru art, also known as „paper marbling” or „water marbling”, is a traditional Turkish form of painting that involves creating colorful patterns on the surface of water, and then transferring these patterns onto paper or other surfaces.
Today, ebru has evolved into a respected and celebrated art form worldwide, with artists experimenting with new techniques and styles while preserving the traditional essence of this captivating medium. Whether experienced in its cultural context or appreciated as a standalone art form, ebru continues to enchant viewers with its ephemeral beauty and rich history.
