Abstraction is an Arabic term that refers to revelation and clarification. Contemporary artists from West Asia and North Africa have realized The inherent abstraction of the Arabic language, as it presented itself as a system of geometric forms that transcended the common visual structure found in other parts of the world. Likewise, the interest in abstraction by artists, whether Arab or otherwise, in other places, inadvertently drew their attention to What is known as Islamic art, which prompted them to incorporate traditional aesthetics into their contemporary production.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
