Today's episode will be on geometric art. I recorded this episode while being in Morocco. A country known for its amazing geometric art. I am myself currently very interested in geometric art as I am trying to create it myself. I will discuss the origins of geometric art, what makes it special and also this cool thing I found called the golden ratio aka the signature of God in the world. If you are more into the short episodes, this one is for you ;)

Welcome to the Spiritual Side of Art. Personally, I think the best way to kick-start this podcast was to tell my personal story with Islamic Art. How I went from zero interest in Islamic Art into running an Islamic Art platform. The questions I have asked myself during this journey, and the research I have done, will serve as the starting point for various episodes. So, what other way to start from the very beginning…
