"Tezhip is an art of illumination and ornamentation. The origins of Tezhip goes back to Uygur Turks (742-840). Turks brought this art from Central Asia through Anatolia with the…influence of many different cultures and regions. So, we can say Tezhip has been a constantly developing and refreshing art since the ancient times and constantly changing. This art is applied either with gold or different colored paints. Ottoman Sultans showed much interest in this art and showed great support for it. Unfortunately, with the invention of printing press, the handwriting, and of course the illuminations and ornamentation applied around these handwriting had a negative impact. There are some traditional motives used in Tezhip and I want to make an introduction of some of these motives to you. I love this art a lot as it is our national art, belonging to Turkish Culture. It is a reflection of Turkish people. This art can be used in many areas; can be applied on furniture, building designs, even for jewelry you can create impressive products with this art. I thank Iris Kucukbayraktar, who has given me inspiration for this art. She always had a great patience in explaining to me how to draw Tezhip. I also want to pass this art to others who want to explore and enjoy it. I made all the drawings in this book by using watercolors and freehand brush technique." Derin Kaptanoglu was born in 2003.
