This work is an original ceramic tile panel inspired by the cypress tree, a significant symbolic motif in Ottoman tile art. In traditional visual culture, the cypress represents continuity, endurance, and elegance.
The composition is structured around the vertical form of the cypress tree, surrounded by stylized floral and vegetal motifs that create a balanced and rhythmic arrangement. The harmony of colors and flowing ornamentation reflects a contemporary interpretation of classical Iznik aesthetics.
The piece is entirely handcrafted, and all stages — drawing, painting, and glazing — were executed by the artist. It is a unique and original design.
