The participants, who visit Calculations and Coincidences with a guide, combine the dots, lines and geometric forms in the works with their creativity, reinterpret them with a different eye and transfer them onto biscuit ceramic plates or cups. The transferred drawings are glazed after the application of ceramic decoration techniques.

When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
When Karl XII of Sweden was defeated by Tsar Peter the Great of Russia in 1709, he fled to the Ottoman Empire and settled in Bender with his entourage for five years.
The Bosphorus, which divides the city from north to south, separates two continents, renders Istanbul distinct for western painters, offers the most picturesque spectacles for western artists.
