About Islamic Geometric Art

Islamic geometric art is the infinite pattern — stars, polygons, and arabesques tessellating without beginning or end, reflecting the mathematical order of creation. From the Alhambra in Granada to the Shah Mosque in Isfahan, this tradition achieved a geometric complexity that Western mathematics only caught up to centuries later.

Built on 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-fold symmetry, girih lines weave over-under across jewel-toned grounds of lapis, gold, turquoise, and emerald. Every surface is filled; every motif is a meditation on the infinite.
