As Şemse Art, producing watercolor with traditional methods has emerged partly as a result of our artistic spirit and partly as a result of our curiosity about the material. And in this light, our research has led us to the prescriptions made by our ancient art masters. Considering the indispensable effect of colors on human nature, we produced handmade watercolors for the first time in Turkey by interpreting the recipes that already existed in our ancient history with our own methods. Thus, we made an important contribution to our art world.

​

We have accelerated the production processes of sealable handmade artistic gilded watercolors compatible with real gold colors as a result of the recent increase in demand at home and abroad. In addition to the production of artistic watercolors upon popular demand, we have also accelerated the production of handmade artistic stone watercolors, as well as increasing the variety of artistic materials day by day.

​

With our education life that started in 1985 at Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts, we have over 40 years of art experience and with our Şemse brand, which we established in 2011 as a store that makes art galleries and picture frames, we have provided interior design and decoration services, illumination training, illumination miniature and floor painting over the years. He continues his life with works of art in different branches, group and personal exhibitions, and handmade artistic stone watercolor works.
