The Esztergom Mosque welcomes visitors with a special exhibition: Orsolya Takács, an ebru artist, presents her exhibition titled “Marble Universe,” offering insight into the world of traditional Turkish ebru art.

Ebru, or paper marbling, is an art form originating from Central Asia and developed during the Ottoman Empire. In this technique, the artist creates patterns on the surface of water and then transfers them onto paper. The process requires precise craftsmanship and a high level of concentration.

Orsolya Takács has been studying ebru art for more than nine years under the guidance of Ertugrul Incel, and since 2017 she has regularly traveled to Istanbul to further deepen her technical knowledge. Her works combine respect for classical forms with a contemporary artistic perspective. The central motif of the exhibition is the tulip, one of the most well-known and beloved symbols of Ottoman art. In the Ottoman Empire, the tulip symbolized purity, beauty, and elegance, and became a defining decorative element in architecture, textile art, and book illumination.

The exhibited works evoke the centuries-old tradition of ebru through a harmonious interplay of colors, shapes, and movement.

The exhibition is open from March 28, 2026, to August 23, 2026.
