Tag Islamic Art

Islamic art, spanning over 1400 years and encompassing a vast geographical range, is a rich and diverse artistic tradition deeply rooted in Islamic faith and culture. It encompasses various mediums, including calligraphy, geometric patterns, arabesques, ceramics, textiles, and architecture. Islamic art is characterised by its intricate ornamentation, exquisite craftsmanship, and a focus on non-figurative art due to religious restrictions. From the grand mosques like the Alhambra in Spain to the delicate illuminations in Qur’ans, Islamic art reflects a deep reverence for divine beauty, a celebration of geometry, and a profound connection between art and spirituality.
