History of Anatolian Folk Music, 2000–2001
peter hristoff (? – ?)
Explore the evocative art of Peter Hristoff – a Bulgarian-American artist blending Byzantine influences & Anatolian folk traditions. Witness stunning landscapes & spiritual depth.
This piece’s oblong shape is suggestive of a textile, one of the recurring sources Hristoff uses as inspiration in his work. Here, the white pattern overlaying the colored background is based on Turkish headscarves (yazmas). Strings of flowers and beads (oya) add additional decoration at the bottom. The work is part of a larger series that celebrates the history of Anatolia and Turkish folklore.
