The artwork takes its influence from the Central Asian and Middle East art practice of Ebru painting. Ebru painting is a distinctive genre of aqueous art used to produce mesmerising works. From a Western perspective, the artwork suggests the style of the abstract expressionist, Jackson Pollock. Particularly popular in Turkey and Central Asia, Ebru paintings are produced using dyes, a water-based solution, and a set of unique tools. Like \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/mymodernmet.com\/ukiyo-e-japanese-woodblock-prints\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eprintmaking\u003c\/a\u003e, Ebru works of art are created by transferring designs, patterns, and motifs onto sheets of paper, fabric, and other canvases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1782277186355_204\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Gold in the Desert Collection \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGold in the Desert explores desert tones and mineral-like colour fields formed through water reflection.
