The HMF Islamic Art Competition 2024 is now Open!!!
The theme of this year’s Islamic Art Competition is ‘Islamic Architecture’
Islamic architecture is a distinctive style that emerged with the rise of Islam and reflects the cultural, religious, and historical influences of the Muslim world. Characterized by its extensive use of arabesques, Islamic architecture blends functionality with beauty. Key elements include the use of arches, intricate geometric patterns, courtyards, minarets, mashrabiya and ornate calligraphy, often featuring verses from the Quran. This architectural style can be seen in mosques, palaces, and gardens across the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia, where it continues to inspire, emphasizing harmony, symmetry, use of light and space and the seamless integration of art and structure.
