This is an oil painting and airbrush mixed media on glass. It was done on the front side of the glass. This mosque belongs to architect Sinan and was built by Suleyman the magnificent, so it is called Suleymaniye. This is a masterpiece of Sinan and Ottoman architecture from the 17th century. It was originally painted as a watercolor painting by an Italian painter nearly 200 years ago. I changed it a bit, eg reduced the number of sails.

airbrushed bicycle


100% airbrush freehand bicycle custom.

Airbrush on stained glass double doors (inside and outside)



















These double doors are at the entrance of a beauty saloon. There are actually four individual pannels joined together in couples with oval brass pieces. The reference for stained glass is an Alphonse Mucha piece. Even though I love making stained glass pieces, unfortunately the stained glass part wasn't done by me. I airbrushed the faces of girls and added peacock feathers and some hair details etc. I think this is the first time airbrush was used on stained glass.
Done in the year 2000.
