“No place can penetrate me like Turkey and Istanbul. Thanks to this city, I brought different cultures together in my designs. I was born and raised in Samatya (a historical district in Istanbul). We had six festivals, not two. Dznunt, which we call the nativity feast of Armenians, Zadik Feast, which we call Easter, Feast of Sugar and Sacrifice, and Shavot and Purim Feasts of Jews. Thanks to this city, Byzantine and Ottoman history flows like a lifeline in my veins.” Sevan Bicakci ____________________________________#sevanbicakci #sevanbicakcijewellery #istanbul #ottoman #byzantine #constantine #constantinople #hagiasophia #galatatower #sultanahmet #mosque #civilisation #history #marmarasea #seagull #view #talent #turkey #turkiye #türkiye #armenianjewelry #jewelryart #art #artwork #bosphorus #historic #jewelrydesigner #earrings #religion #faith https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4cKAQlysY/?utm_medium=tumblr
