As a fan of the highly decorative and ornate, islamic design has always been inspirational.No other culture does non-figurative/geometric design like they do, in my opinion. I love the details, the symmetry and of course, the richly contrasting hues.
I just absolutely adore your blog!!!! Being a gypsy soul, I just love color, pattern and lot`s of visual inspiration...and you give me all of those...one visit to your blog and I had my "fix"...thank you so much!! XX Gypsy Purple
ReplyDeleteI fully agree these colourful,swirling patterns are gorgeous,they are so full of motion and make one's eye move with them and doing so there are many details to discover.Great you did a post on Haeckel's illustrations too,there is a similarity and it's obvious that nature was a great inspiration for this islamic art.(excuse me my bad english)
