Floating Emotions is a heartfelt expression through the ancient art of Ebru, Turkish paper marbling, guided by the flow of water, the weight of earth, and the rhythm of emotion. Our works are meditation in motion, created by a family bound not only by blood but by brush strokes across water.
We believe that each pattern is a conversation between the seen and unseen. Using natural earth pigments, rose wood sticks, and brushes made from horsehair, we create works that feel alive, transient, spiritual, and timeless. The water listens, and the paint dances. In every wave and color blend, you can feel memories, emotions, and generations of tradition carried forward.
Ebru is not just art for us. It is our family bond, a shared silence, a devotion to craft. Our pieces are created with the calm intensity of meditation, honoring both our heritage and our longing to express the floating emotions within.
A family collective of artists Musa, Ali, and Ipek, originally from Turkey. Each of us has practiced the art of Ebru for more than two decades, ever since our earliest childhood memories, when our father Musa, a master of the wavy (dalgalı) style, introduced us to the secret dance of color on water. What began as afternoons spent around the marbling basin slowly became a lifelong dialogue between generations, a shared language of rhythm, patience, and wonder.
Our practice is deeply rooted in the four elements. From the earth, we gather natural pigments and minerals. Guided by organic materials such as rosewood sticks and horsehair brushes, the paint takes flight through the air before meeting the water, where it begins to dance. Metal tools forged under fire shape the colors into rhythm and form. Finally, as the paper embraces the water, the work finds its permanence.
Over the years, our collective work has been exhibited across five countries: Turkey, Italy, Brazil, the United States, and France. Each exhibition offers new ways to connect this ancient art with contemporary audiences. Wherever we go, we carry the spirit of Ebru with us—delicate yet bold, ancient yet ever evolving.
