Introduction

Stars and rosettes are among the most characteristic geometric ornamental motifs of Islamic art.

Patterns with stars and rosettes are complex and symmetrical compositions with rhythmic repetitions of profound beauty.  They are a combination of: art and geometry, elegance and logic, imagination and precision.

They are found on walls, ceilings, doors and windows in both religious and secular buildings, and also as decorative elements in woodworks, metalworks, ceramics, books and textiles.

My interest in geometry and art has led me to study tessellations, repetitive tiled patterns,  ornamented with stars and rosettes. 

This website offers a visual tour through tessellations with stars and rosettes, grouped by region. The patterns presented are classic designs of geometric ornamentation in the style of Islamic art.

I hope you enjoy the content of this website as much as I did preparing it !!

The website will be updated regularly with new patterns !
