Ethem Efendi
There's some minor disagreement about the word Ebru, and whether it means variegated as in Ebre, or Abri, meaning clouded paper. It's all marbling though and the art form is the same as we see in the west except that the artists favour floral and figurative motifs.
It's visual though, so:
Floral Ebru by Necmettin Okyay, 1883-1976 (Ok means arrow, yay means bow in Turkisha) Turkish archery master, rose grower and ebru artist.
