An aesthetic quest to find beauty in order and order in beauty.

"I am deeply indebted to the original pattern creators in Islamic geometric art, whose innovative designs have inspired and shaped my artistic journey. These master craftsmen of history not only developed intricate patterns but also infused them with profound symbolic meaning and spiritual significance. Their geometric compositions, spanning centuries and cultures, reflect a deep understanding of mathematics and a reverence for the cosmic order.
Studying their works has allowed me to delve into a rich historical tapestry where art and mathematics intertwine harmoniously. Each pattern tells a story of cultural exchange, innovation, and meticulous craftsmanship, offering timeless lessons in symmetry, proportion, and aesthetic beauty. By honoring and drawing inspiration from these artistic pioneers, I aim to pay homage to their enduring legacy while exploring new creative possibilities in my own work."
