Alhambra mosaic

14.08.2025

This vibrant geometric pattern, titled Alhambra, is inspired by sacred architecture from across the Islamic world. Drawing from the intricate tilework of the Alhambra palace in Spain and the hand-painted ceramics found in Afghan mosques, the design celebrates the timeless beauty of ornamental geometry.

The composition features radiant yellow stars with green centers, framed by warm orange squares and accented with red, green, and blue details. Its symmetrical layout and rich color palette evoke the spiritual harmony and visual rhythm found in sacred spaces.

Alhambra would make a stunning decorative element in various settings. It could be used as a full-surface motif—ideal for a tiled floor or wall—or as a central medallion, approximately one meter wide, surrounded by yellow or orange tiles. Its ornamental quality and warm tones make it especially suitable for outdoor use in Mediterranean or Middle Eastern climates, such as a fountain wall or courtyard feature.

Additionally, the design lends itself beautifully to textile applications. As a carpet, Alhambra would bring warmth and elegance to any interior, whether used as a centerpiece or a full-room statement. Its rhythmic geometry and vibrant colors would complement both traditional and contemporary spaces.
