“…Islamic Art is far less a way of expressing emotion than a science and that a Muslim artist will willingly subordinate his individuality to the, as it were, objective and impersonal beauty of his work.”

Originally the islamic patterns derived from similar designs in earlier cultures: Greek, Roman and Persians.

Islamic geometric patterns are the most recognisable visual expressions of Islamic Art and architecture. The process of creating these meaningful patterns is by multiplying one pattern. Each  each of them  consists geometric forms which were divided into equal sectors. The starting point of every pattern is a perfect circle. Islamic Art avoids images with figures to avoid becoming objects of worship.
