1月24日2025年土耳其伊斯坦堡工作日記

#土耳其工作日記 今日的靈感來源是土耳其伊斯坦堡的托普 卡匹皇宮 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ6YyQ385X8&t=42s 特別是皇宮內的磁磚，玻璃, 等不同 媒材的結合～ 以及美麗的伊斯蘭書法～ 繼續用水彩紀錄我所看到的世界，紀錄努力中～ Today's inspiration came from the Topkapi Palace Museum. I enjoyed seeing so many beautiful tiles, as well as the glass windows adorned with ceramics and other materials, such as what appeared to be seashells. The combination of different materials used to construct the interior space fascinated me. I noticed how the colors—yellow, blue, and green—work wonderfully together. I also enjoyed looking at the Islamic calligraphy, appreciating the lines and colors, even though I do not fully understand their meanings. I am grateful to be taking part in the artist residency in Istanbul, Turkey. I continue to observe the world around me and use watercolor to explore Turkish cultural identity while working hard on my artistic practice.

1月21日 2025年 土耳其伊斯坦堡 工作日記：水彩彩繪

#土耳其工作日記 感謝 朋友Tiffany 去台中玩耍的時候， 想到我，送給我的媽祖封面的素描本， 今日拿起禮物 來畫水彩， 尤其是參訪了 聖索菲亞清真寺，在清真寺內看到 耶穌基督相關的畫像。 以及參觀了托普卡匹皇宮，看到奧斯曼帝國的服飾， 讓我思考了自己藝術家的生活，以及哲學和宗教課題～ 感恩有機會來土耳其工作，看到不一樣的世界！ 感恩這美好的機會～ 我繼續一筆一畫用水彩紀錄土耳其伊斯坦堡～ "I carried a sketchbook, with a cover featuring Mazu, one of the Taiwanese gods, to create my watercolor paintings. Thank you, Tiffany, for giving me this gift from my homeland, Taiwan. Creating art and working as an artist feels like a philosophy— a way of life. I enjoy traveling and creating artwork at the same time. Today, my inspiration came from my visit to the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque. I was captivated by the religious paintings inside the building and the color yellow, which seemed to cheer up the space and bring me a sense of hope. Another source of inspiration came from my visit to the Topkapi Palace, where I saw the Ottoman Empire's clothing. The intricate patterns, especially the use of dots, appeared so modern to me. I incorporated these inspirations into today's watercolor paintings, reflecting on my personal life, philosophy, and thoughts on religion during my artist residency in Istanbul, Turkey." ＃istanbul #turkey ＃artist #感恩 ＃土耳其 ＃伊斯坦堡

#土耳其工作日記 我第一次去土耳其的家樂福，看了可愛的花朵形狀的麵包， 一個39.90 里拉＝台幣大約39.90 元～ 我也嘗試在土耳其街道上行走，尋找 街頭藝術塗鴉～ 今日的水彩畫中的紅色，靈感來自於 土耳其的托卡匹皇宮！ 我繼續自我挑戰，每1-2天完成一張水彩畫～ 我繼續努力中 💪💪 I enjoyed eating bread during my artist residency in Istanbul, Turkey. It was my first time visiting Carrefour SA (Sakıp Sabancı), where I saw a wide variety of bread, including flower-shaped bread priced at 39.90 TL. I also took a walk around Kadıköy and discovered some street art. Additionally, I found inspiration in the red color used in Topkapi Palace. In the end, I used watercolors to write traditional Chinese characters representing Turkey, bread, life, and religion, and I signed my name in my Taiwanese signature: Wen-Hsi. Creating a piece of artwork within 1–2 days, while gathering inspiration from the streets and different places in Turkey, was a challenge. However, I am continually pushing myself to create new works. ＃感恩 ＃土耳其 ＃伊斯坦堡

1月14日2025年土耳其伊斯坦堡工作日記

#土耳其伊斯坦堡工作日記 我繼續用水彩，一筆一畫紀錄下，自己所看到的土耳其伊斯坦堡～ 這是我第一次 土耳其咖啡，看到用 沙子煮咖啡， 喝完的咖啡渣， 有可能讓 算命者，看到自己的未來～ 覺得很有趣。 我很感恩，有機會來土耳其工作， 參觀了聖索非亞，世界文化遺產，一座曾是教堂，而現在是清真寺的重要 宗教建築， 特別喜歡內部的燈飾，似乎帶給 參觀者， 一點點的希望，溫煖著內心。 也很感恩，有機會去參觀 土耳其地下水宮， 看到希臘 神話故事人物 梅杜莎 的石柱， 聽說凝視她眼睛的人都會變成石頭， 所以石柱是倒著放～ 以免我們被石化。 我用水彩，把這些小細節都畫在紙上， 看似很簡單的小小一張水彩 畫， 每天都花我好幾個小時完成， 最後我也寫上 繁體中文： 土耳其咖啡 算命 好運 文曦 來分享關於我自己來自臺灣的身份～ 我繼續努力，期待更多人，能知道 臺灣在哪裡？ This was my first time seeing Turkish coffee being cooked in sand—it was so cool! I also learned for the first time that some fortune tellers can read coffee grounds to predict the future after the coffee is finished. It’s fascinating to explore someone’s culture through a cup of coffee during my artist residency in Istanbul, Turkey. I also had the chance to visit the famous Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque. The golden-yellow lighting inside was stunning—it beautifully illuminated the space and seemed to bring a sense of hope to everyone who entered. When I visited the Basilica Cistern, I saw the iconic Medusa heads . In Greek mythology, Medusa has the ability to petrify people with her gaze. Within the shadowy confines of the Basilica Cistern, the Medusa heads are strategically positioned upside down on column bases. Some believe this was done to neutralize the petrifying effects of her gaze, protecting unsuspecting visitors from being turned to stone. Inspired by these experiences, I created patterns through watercolor painting. Although the designs may look simple, it took me a couple of hours to complete them. Alongside the paintings, I also wrote traditional Chinese characters for "Turkish coffee," "fortune," "good luck," "art," and my signature, Wen-Hsi (my Taiwanese name). 🥰 #turkishfood #turkish #Taiwanese #watercolour #paintings #artistresidency
