Abstract

Heritage is considered an important source of the artistic vision related to the roots of civilization, as it represents the aesthetic forms of cultures that express the meaning of civilization.
The eastern kilim is considered one of the most beautiful and best textiles throughout the ages. The researcher chose the three most important centers for the kilim industry in the world and the East, including (Persia - Anatolia - Egypt), which was affected by many and many artistic styles, which is considered one of the constructions of the design, which combines unity, rhythm, balance, proportionality, and sovereignty.
The abstract meaning plays a key role in the design of the hanging textile. It is based on the relationships of lines, colors, spaces, and abstraction. It is not inspired by ready-made forms from nature, but it uses vocabulary that suggests many feelings and meanings. It represents the development of sensory perception into formal perception. Rather, it is achieved by successive generations, each of them revealing something in their circulation to the other, and thus the form moves in the transition from one generation to the next.
The researcher implemented (12) hanging textiles derived from a modern vision of the oriental kilim motives between the formal perception and the abstract meaning and their impact on the hanging textile design (Single Art Exhibition).
