Arabic 6-Fold Hexagram Pattern

Deviating from traditional pattern repetition and symmetry this illustration bounces off the interplay between sub-grid construction lines and the final highlighted composition.

Deliberately leaving sections open to break up the symmetry and expose the internal geometry provides a sense of depth, gives the drawing space to breathe, and prevents it from appearing static.

A large Six-Pointed Star, or Hexagram, emerges to the foreground decorated with an intricate 6-fold mosaic pattern. The detail, precision, black on white contrast, and use of line weight creates a contemporary look that infuses a unique expression to a traditional Arabic pattern.

Completely hand-drawn using ruler and compass construction methods, each line: is diligently calculated, dedicates purpose, is meticulously inked from start to finish with white ink on black paper, and contributes to the overall dynamic and balance of the final composition.
