Inspired by the natural beauties of Muğla, the art of wood carving continues to be kept alive with traditional methods. Ali Kaya, one of the masters of this art, brings the richness of nature to life on wood with his works.
Ali Kaya draws attention to biodiversity by presenting hundreds of different species of birds, mushrooms, and butterflies to the public through wood carving art. He produces jewelry and accessories with the plant species he uses in his works, which he processes by preserving the natural texture of the wood. Various products such as necklaces, earrings, brooches, and bracelets are shaped by taking inspiration from the nature of Muğla.
As Ali Kaya emphasizes, the works they produce are unique in the world. Wooden jewelry decorated with figures such as birds, butterflies and mushrooms reflect a unique understanding of art focused on biodiversity. Kaya, who brings his original designs to life in Köyceğiz, Muğla, brings nature and living species together with the art of wood carving.
Ali Kaya, who particularly includes endangered species, brings biodiversity and natural life to the forefront in his works. In this way, he aims to raise awareness about biodiversity by increasing people’s sensitivity to nature and the environment.
