MoroccanTileArt

Moroccan Tile Art also known as Zellige, rooted in Islamic Art is a centuries old decorative tradition that holds a rich cultural heritage of Morocco, the art of Zellige has become timeless in Morocco, an imitation of Roman mosaic. Zellige geometric patterns are constructed from archetypal shapes. Every single artwork is made out of hand-made, hand-glazed, hand-cut geometrical clay mosaics called as furmah, which when connected together make a puzzle, a contemplative pattern that decorates the wall. These patterns are symmetrical and mathematical, related to spirituality, nature and cultural heritage. The dominant hues such as deep blue, emerald green, warm earthy tones and bright white create a mesmerizing visual harmony.
