Murat Palta is a contemporary Turkish miniaturist whose work reinterprets Ottoman and Persian pictorial vocabularies for the present day. Trained in traditional miniature techniques and conversant with popular culture, Palta integrates cinema, literature, and contemporary events into intricate, formally rigorous compositions. His miniatures blend historical forms with modern narratives, using anachronism and dark humor to reflect on mythology, philosophy, and society.

Palta has participated in international exhibitions, including the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art, and has collaborated with major brands such as Apple and Levi’s. His works have been widely recognized for expanding the possibilities of miniature painting as a living, adaptive art form.
