Garip Ay is a Turkish artist with some serious skills. Using a method known as “ebru,” or decorative paper art, Ay creates a masterpiece by painting directly on to water. By adding colors to dark water Ay is able to move them around and recreate the amazing fluidity of the Dutch master. Once the paint is to Ay’s liking he places paper on top of the water and the colors transfer and create a brand new masterpiece.
In the video below you can watch as Ay recreates “Starry Night” and “Self Portrait” by Vincent Van Gogh. Learn more about Ay at his website here.
