Reverse Glass Painting
Reverse glass painting artists use the opposite of the technique used for painting on paper or canvas paintings. Composition is applied on the opposite surface of the glass. The artist starts with signature and date first and then adds the details, and lastly, the composition.The complexity of work comes from the necessity of thinking the picture in a reflected or reversed way. What you paint in the left will be in the right when the painting finishes. Also, because color layers cover each other, retouch and tint changes are impossible.

Reverse Glass Painting - Miniatures
Between 2015-2019, I adapted many miniatures in the history of art on to glass with using the reverse glass technique. Through these studies I developed a lot of technical skills. They were also very instructive in terms of handling the topics covered. They provided a great intellectual and technical contribution to the paintings I am currently working on.

The creature is believed to live underground in Eastern mythology. It has the characteristics of different animals. The first word in its name “Dabbe”, is in fact used for all the walking creatures in the Earth.
In this painting, it is shown human faced, winged, peacock tailed, leopard furred, camel toed, cat breasted. He holds Moses’ scepter in his right hand and Solomon’s seal in his left hand.
When this creature comes out of the underground, it is believed to be a sign of Doomsday.
