How Handmade Carpets, Alhambra and Nature are Connected
Nature, Alhambra and handmade carpets share beauty secrets
Why handmade carpets are beautiful? Why nature is so inviting and put people at ease? If you’ve ever seen Alhambra in Granada, Spain you’ll be asking that same question. It begs a question does beauty have universal truths? Is there such a thing as universal beauty?
There’s a lot of research on what facial beauty is and how it doesn’t exist based on culture, race and other aspects. However, there’s a school of thought that believes the more symmetrical facial features are the more beautiful they are. People with the most symmetrical features are considered beautiful compared to those who have less symmetrical features. Aristotle believed in:
‘Beauty resides in what is being observed and is defined by characteristics of the art object, such as symmetry, order, balance, and proportion. Such criteria hold, whether the object is natural or man-made.’
I learned that a symphony of symmetry and mathematical precision can completely make you fall in love with an object.
