Kuşoğlu is not only a celebrated academic who introduces the arts and culture of the Ottoman civilisation to the contemporary audience, but he is also a master who personally executes the arts and crafts he writes about. Some know him as an inlayer of mother-of-pearl or silver; others know him as a jeweller, a metal sculptor, or graphic designer; others still know him as a brilliant master who brought a new dimension to the art of engraving. In this study, some of the author's beautiful silver works are presented along with those from the Ottoman period.
Mehmet Zeki Kuşoğlu graduated from the State College of Applied Fine Arts in Turkey, and in 1964, he received a state grant, with which he went to Germany for postgraduate studies. He became interested in Turkish, Islamic, and Eastern art while conducting research in the museums and libraries in Germany and other European countries. He held exhibitions, published articles and books, gave seminars, and made more than 100 presentations at national and international conferences.
