Naile sanat evi , kesinlikle gezilmesi gereken bir yer..
A wonderful kind of Ottoman art
I was fortunate enough to meet Naile at the bus station asking her for directions to Uchisar. Serendipitous- we were headed the same directions! On the bus, she told me of her family, career and passions. Her vivacity for the Ebru art captivated me so much I took a detour to visit her gallery. And am I happy I did. There I looked at her paintings; some of which had immaculate detail, elaborate composition and elegant intricacies. She explained Ebru is a 600+ year old Turkish art form where dyes are placed in a water mix that include cow enzymes and then delicately transposed to a medium (paper, papyrus, silk, marble, etc). Then she demonstrated the process. It's an interesting art form that combines creativity and chemistry. Just watching a master work on the medium is hypnotic. I also met her husband who was a delight, offering tea and showing me pictures of their family and world record! Yes, Naile holds a world record.
As I left, Naile called me back and gave me the painting she drew for me. Personally signed - AMAZING.
Naile and her husband is one of the most memorable couples I've met while traveling - they are good people.
Tesekkur Ederim Naile for sharing your passion with me.

P.S. Ask them what their secret to 30+ years of marriage. The answers are humorous and apt.
