Art

Islamic art focuses on various art forms created by people who live within areas inhabited by a culturally Islamic population. Rugs, tiling, and ceramics from the area have a definitive look and style. The repeating element in Islamic art is the arabesque—the geometrical designs—that symbolize the indivisible and infinite nature of God. View the various pieces of art below and try to see how the continuity of the arabesque can portray infiniteness.
