This is a page dedicated to my dear father Vedat Varol ( 1930 - 1996 ) who was a bank manager by occupation , but also had a great sense of arts. He was not a modeler , but had what a modeler should have : Vision and patience.

I do not intend to display all of what he had about arts. But, he had a unique art and I will display photos about it here because I believe it is definitely interesting and that people should see his works.

The compositions below are made of nothing but rounded pebblestones collected from the seashore. They are used as they were found naturally. There is not a single paint touch or shaping by breaking , etc. on any of the stones. The biggest problem he had while composing was the rarity of natural blue stones to use for the sky or water. The only artificial treatment is that , after glueing , the stones are varnished to have them reflect their own bright colors.
