The evolution of Islamic art and culture initially upheld the prohibition against depicting living beings. However, as Islam spread, encounters with diverse artistic traditions from regions like Syria, Iraq, Persia, North Africa, and Spain led to noticeable influences. Many artists from these areas continued their work after embracing Islam, resulting in a cultural exchange reflected in Islamic decorative art, particularly in architecture.
Geometric patterns conveyed concepts of infinity and divine symmetry, while flowers symbolized the heavenly gardens. Art and architecture, adorned with patterns representing divine attributes and nature’s bounty, showcased the belief in the omnipresence of Divine Beauty.
