Completed Istanbul Mural in the Cathedral of Learning, Univ. of Pittsburgh
The 21′ x 5′ painting (acrylic on wall-mounted canvas) sits behind glass panels in order to simulate looking out a window upon the city of Istanbul. This method is used in many underground rooms of the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul.
Thank you to the Turkish Nationality Room Committee and the University of Pittsburgh for this wonderful, unique opportunity. Here’s a link to the Nationality Rooms website: http://www.nationalityrooms.pitt.edu.
