Description

Samarqand is now considered a part of Uzbekistan and was a part of Persian Empire back in the 7th century. The greatest poets and philosophers have given the city many names – such as “The garden of the soul” or “The pearl of the east” and even “The mirror of the world”. The delicate usage of Shamseh by the artist have turned this piece into one of the most unique ones. Even though Shamseh abstract motif and its geometry came from Persian and Pre-Islamic art and culture, it was redefined in combination with theosophical concepts and Islamic mysticism beliefs.
