The artworks in this gallery are a selection of my geometrical compositions of the past years. All are drawn by hand and painted in watercolour on high-quality paper. Most of the  the works here are named after historically or artistically significant cities in the history of Islamic art & architecture. Although not all the designs in the geometric compositions can be directly attributed to the cities after which they are named, they did provide a source of inspiration when I was working on the compositions. In all my creative work, it is the desire to relate designs to their historical and cultural environment that makes Islamic geometry so interesting to me. That is what I hope the work in this gallery demonstrates. 

All artworks are for sale, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me if you have a question or are interested in one or more of these pieces.
