Mayan Sculpture

Mayan Sculpture

The Mayan culture is a eastern and south eastern mesoamerican culture that took place in the time period of 500 BCE to 200 CE. The sculptures they've done all have different forms and functions. Some sculptures were made to represent the gods they worshiped. Others were made to make life easier, and some were just for decorations.

Tolga Girgin

Tolga Girgin

Tolga Girgin is an electronic engineer and also a calligraphist. Born in Simav, Kütahya, Turkey in 1981. He lives in Eskişehir, Turkey. He also does lettering and drawing. 

Why did I chose this artist? I chose Tolga Girgin because I think his calligraphy is incredible. I can't believe a human can make calligraphy in this type of way the way Tolga is doing. I never knew calligraphy and 3D together would come out looking like this to be honest. This is the first time I'm actually amazed by the artworks from others. 

What Tolga is dealing with in terms of materials and subject is doing illusions, combinations and texture. That's what I think he's thinking when drawing.
