Istanbul, Hagia Sophia mosque. Light. Pastel painting.
Pastel painting. The interior of the Hagia Sophia amazed me. This magical light that poured from the windows and the soft light from the majestic chandeliers. The grandeur and spaciousness amaze the imagination. It seems that God with this light seeps inside the temple.
The turquoise carpet, which is spread on the floor of the mosque, creates a feeling of the sea, the depths of the sea, light and shadow, and waves of water. Incredible color combinations - turquoise and soft orange light from chandeliers create a picturesque picture. I really wanted to draw this story, which I saw firsthand in Istanbul in November 2022.
The painting was painted with pastels and pastel pencils of professional brands on pastel cardboard from Canson of archival quality, in a free technique close to both realism and impressionism.
The reliability of the materials guarantees the long-term preservation of the painting. To prevent the painting from smearing and the pastel from falling off, I recommend framing the painting under museum anti-reflective glass with a passe-partout and baguette. The pastel is not secured with fixative. However, if properly designed, such work can be stored for centuries. This is evidenced by the works of great masters who painted with dry pastels, for example Edgar Degas. Light-resistant modern pigments and good binders guarantee the durability of the painting layer, and archival acid-free paper will carefully preserve the painting.
I hope that the pastel painting will be a pleasant gift for yourself and your loved ones and will give you joy. It will also be a good investment, since art tends to rise in price.
I hope that my painting will find its home in the hands of a true art lover.

You can buy a painting online on the website for a secure transaction. I will carefully pack and ship the painting promptly. May it be a good gift for Christmas, New Year, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Anniversary, Eid al-Adha, Kurban Bayram, Ramadan.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Chalk

Drawing made with chalk, a white marine rock that is traditionally white in colour and can sometimes be coloured.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
