A Prayer in Tiles 

A personal obsession with sacred architecture and ornamental devotion

هوسي بتصميم المساجد والفن الروحي

Mosaic is not just decoration—it is a silent prayer on the walls of mosques 

الفسيفساء ليست مجرد زخرفة، بل هي صلاة صامتة على جدران المساجد 

There is a recurring image that follows me every time I create a mosaic: a tiled surface on the outer wall of a mosque. Not a fantasy, not a fleeting thought—but a persistent vision. Each time I draw a new pattern, I instinctively imagine it scaled up, placed in sunlight, adorning a sacred space open to all.

Lately, I find myself visualizing these mosaics not just in the bathroom, kitchen, on fountains or courtyards, but on the very skin of architecture—especially mosques. It became a real obsession. 

 With my latest mosaic, I digitally reimagined the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, applying my own tile design to its exterior walls and column structures. I sincerely hope the Arab sheikhs will appreciate my enhanced version of their magnificent mosque—and won't mind that I combined their iconic architecture with my own mosaic vision. 

My geometric designs are rooted in Islamic ornament, arabesques, and the logic of repetition. Some are hand-painted, others digitally composed—but all are born from the same impulse: to create something that resonates beyond aesthetics. These mosaics are not just patterns, they are imagined spaces, spiritual surfaces, and invitations to contemplation.

It has become a quiet dream of mine to one day create a mosaic for the exterior of a mosque. Not as a commercial project, but as a spiritual offering. A contribution to a space that welcomes everyone, freely, without distinction.

A place of prayer, of rhythm and of silence. Such a project would fulfill me not only as a designer, but as a human being.

Over time, my relationship with art has shifted. What began as a fascination with ornament has grown into something deeper. I no longer see geometry as a boring part of math or just a visual language of art, it has become a form of devotion. 

A way to offer quietly a beauty and divine nearness to the world.
