Gouache miniatures in antique and handmade frames
I paint gouache miniatures on dark grounds and finish each one inside an antique or hand-built ceramic frame. Everything is small, roughly the size of a hand, so it asks you to come close.

Three Rivers
Passau sits where the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz come together. That meeting point is my favourite place in the city.

Process
Some frames are antiques, cleaned and regilded in the studio. Others are hand-built in ceramic. Either way the frame is finished before the painting starts.
Read about the processAbout
I am Nergiz, a painter based in Passau, Germany, working in gouache at miniature scale. My paintings are botanical and landscape subjects built up on dark grounds, and each one is presented in a frame I have either sourced or made, so that the painting and its housing are finished together as a single object.
My subjects come from close observation of gardens, water and woodland, with a debt to nineteenth century garden painting. I was born in Turkey and live in Germany.
I take a small number of commissions each year. Most begin one of two ways: a place someone wants painted, or a frame they already own and want filled.
