Al-Andalus tilework in the Alhambra of Granada exemplifies the pinnacle of medieval Islamic decorative art in Spain, combining geometric precision, vegetal motifs, and calligraphic beauty into a cohesive visual language. Executed primarily in glazed ceramic tiles (azulejos), stucco reliefs, and intricately carved wood, the ornamentation transforms architectural surfaces into continuous patterns that emphasize rhythm, harmony, and the interplay of light and shadow.
For collectors and designers, Al-Andalus tilework offers lessons in proportion, color harmony, and the power of pattern to define space—qualities that translate well into contemporary fine art photography prints and interior applications.
This is an archival pigment print 19 X 12.6 inches ( 48 X 32 cm ). Edition of 10, signed, dated and numbered.
