The exhibition “A Nakkaş Between Earth and Sky, Nusret Çolpan”, consisting of the works of my esteemed architect and miniature artist Nusret Çolpan, was opened to visitors at the Kadırga Art Gallery and the Glass Cube Gallery located in the Fatih Municipality building. In the exhibition that I am consulting, my late teacher Nusret has works in two separate exhibition halls. There are 40 miniature paintings and 19 sketches in Kadırga Art Galleries, and 5 digital adaptations, 5 miniature paintings, 2 sketches and 1 tile panel in Glass Cube Gallery. I always remember my teacher fondly, he added a lot of value to our art. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the exhibition. 2022

During the pandemic period, time passed like this in my workshop. We have succeeded in making the lock down days beautiful with conversations with friends, tea and coffee, book readings, and miniatures made for relaxation.

I had the chance to explain our art by participating in more than twenty programs on national and international TV channels.

The ‘Building Stones of Turkish Art’ and later ‘Those Who Leave Traces’ exhibitions, in which I took part with my esteemed professors, were also important for me to take part in the section where I explained our miniature art in a valuable book. Thank you to everyone who contributed. 2017 and 2018

Let me share two of my work with young people; as part of the Design Cafe trainings of the Mimarhane group, we held workshops with students studying in architecture and design departments. I explained our art through Zoom and also in face-to-face workshops, and we practiced together. Upon invitation, I made a presentation about our miniature art to the students of Istanbul Aydın University Architectural Restoration Department, and then, under the guidance of their teachers, the students applied Istanbul miniatures to mosaic art as a lesson project.
