Murat Palta, who exhibits his works in Turkey as well as in countries such as Italy, Russia, France and the United Arab Emirates, interprets the traditional art of miniature and illumination with a unique aesthetic.
By blending literature, cinema, computer games with western and eastern cultures, a humorous visuality emerges. It is possible to see many famous works from Super Mario to Street Fighter, from Star Wars to Mad Max in the works of Palta.
