Sitki Art Gallery
World famous Turkish tile artist Sıtkı Olçar’s dream has come true, thanks to his daughter Nida Olçar.
The artist from the western province of Kütahya, died in 2010, but his daughter is proud to make his dream come true by bringing together the red soil of the Cappadocia region with tile designs.
Sıtkı Olçar, who was selected as a living human treasure by UNESCO, established a business 30 years ago in Cappadocia, which is known for its red soil and potteries along with its fairy chimneys. His dream was to combine red soil and tile designs but due to commercial and other reasons, he returned to his hometown Kütahya without realizing his dream.
His daughter Nida Olçar, who handed over her father’s atelier after his death, decided to open an art gallery in Cappadocia to make this dream come true.
