Dream Garden - Tulip & Turkey

Dream Garden series of happy paintings bring together monuments and imaginary gardens. In these somewhat surrealistic paintings, architectural beauty combines creatively with vibrant floral elements leading to ecstatic experience. In this small sized painting, the beautiful and famous mosque of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul-Turkey is shown lifted up in an imaginary Tulip Garden. The inside dome shaped ceiling is interestingly magnified and shown above the main building eclipsing it. The large sized tulips lifting up the entire monument in the sky impart a surrealistic look to the composition.
