You're looking at the new ziyaeris.com website.  We're currently making some last minute refinements to the site in the coming days and will be officially launching shortly.  Come back here to find out how we're doing and what's coming next.

All the ornaments, paintings and illustrations will be available as limited edition prints.  Each print comes with an official paper signifying the number and each print is also signed by Ziya Eris.

At this moment we're not considering releasing any of the original art work to the market.  

The illustrations on site are by artist Ginko Kiyotani Eris, Artist and wife of Ziya Eris.  

Ziya Eris was born in Bursa, Turkey, the ancient capital of the Ottoman Empire, and a major centre of art and architecture.  He studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Istanbul and worked as an architect and painter of Turkish miniatures.  Ziya currently resides in Australia but has also lived in Tokyo, Japan.
