Islamic art is developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic architecture; the architecture and decorative art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences . Islamic art uses many geometical floral or vegetable designs in a repetitive pattern known as arabesque. It is used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of Allah.
People that like Islamic art tend to be more traditional people that appreciate keeping patterns that they learned and experienced from their past. It is not to say that they are not innovative personalities, they just do not like to let go of their roots. They like to put new ideas into details and make certain that they will work before sharing them with others. Failure is not something they like to think about because they are more interested in being successful and appreciated for their intelligence. These people can also be or like elaborate things in their life as long as they are tasteful. They tend to prefer geometric patterns and vibrant colors.

So the major thing about my trip to London last year was as well as seeing James, and then going to Milton Keynes, btw ... It was also my first ever, ever concert that I had attended (except for orchestra ones I play in) ... so at 9then) 46, I had an amazing time, and then went to the other 2 he did last year ... as well as Union Chapel again this year ( were you there?)

Date: 2008-10-22 01:00 pm (UTC)Certainly I like geometric patterns - well, that is a large component of Islamic art, but I really do not have any roots to keep hold of, and am very conscious of living a rootless, cosmopolitan life with no connections to anything very much.
But aside from the art I am not into vibrant colours and I like simplicity rather than elaboration. I would have thought that the acceptance of art originating outside the western tradition was a sign of embracing difference rather than holding on to one's roots.
