but, because it can function as free-
ly shaped abstract picture. Howev-
er, like the curly ornaments, flower
samples and geometric arabesques,
ebru represents recognizable decor-
taive art, often combined with callig-
raphy. On the other hand, ebru can
be trated also as the independent
fine art, since it can be perceved as
an abstract painting.
However, especially with the Otto-
mans, various flowers were made in
ebru technique, which later became
the recognizable mark of this art.
All these different aproaches led
to the style classifications of ebru,
so with the artistic imagination and
a large possibility of combinations of
the intial ebru patterns, many differ-
ent decorative patterns appeared.
art it appeared in the 16th century.
From then, this way of decorative art
becomes permanently present when
books and calligraphy would be
decorated, and it became the trade
mark of the Ottoman’s art. Within
the Islamic art we can talk about cer-
tain style characteristics developed,
depending on the area in which they
appeared, so it seems that ebru is
filled with the sensibility of Turkish
and Iranian artists.
Ebru can be ranged within large
context of the Islamic ornamentics,
although, according to its formal
shaping and technical performance
it differs from other approaches of
decorating, not because it can be
made on paper (technically possibly
on some other materials like silk),
of spraying and dripping, applies
the colour of mineral origin on the
surface of the water. After a num-
ber of interventions artist collects
the already shaped art form on a se-
lected paper. In this way ‘the magic’
of ebru appears, which can’t leave
anyone indifferent. Thus, being pres-
ent at this process is a fascinating
experience.
Today, we can’t tell where ebru
exactly came to life, but its origin is
related to the regions populated with
Turkish and Iranian people. This kind
of art appeared in the 11th century,
most probably in the Middle Asia. At
first, it began to spread in the region
of Turkmenistan and then Iran where
it was called EBRU (cloud) or ABRU
(the face of water). In the Ottoman’s
Ebru, as the most specific form
of Islamic decorative art, is
called ‘PAINTING ON WATER’.
This makes ebru special in the his-
tory of painting.
Usually, we paint or draw directly
on ‘hard’ materials as paper, wall,
wood, ceramic, canvas, etc. How-
ever, ebru presents a different ap-
proach. As a story tells us, Ebru ap-
peared when artists attempted to
paint clouds on water. This dreamy
approach, so characteristic for Turk-
ish and Iranian artists, got its inge-
nious technical performance. There-
fore ebru, in general, is most sensible
expression of Islamic decorative art.
