  The art of miniature painting reached its apotheosis in Turkey in the 16th century. Two main styles were popular, namely the Persian and the Ottoman style. While the Persian style is rich in ornamentation and very fine details, the Ottoman style is straight forward and easy to follow. Küsav, the Foundation for Fine Arts and Cultural Heritage, is promoting a competition open to all Fine Arts, Graphic Design and Architecture students entitled. The aim is to revive the art of miniature painting by using this art form to depict present-day themes. A4 size drawings, paintings or watercolours must be submitted to Küsav, 24-26 Köybaşı Cad.
