EDITORIAL

In this issue of Islamic Arts Magazine we bring a plenty of interesting content. You can read a great story from the old town Pocitelj located in Herzegovina that represents the oriental pearl of Mediterranean culture. Two other cities hide masterpieces of Islamic architecture, and that are Cordoba and Granada in Spain with the famous Great Mosque and Alhambra palace. In addition to an extremely interesting text on this subject, you can enjoy fantastic photos of these two cultural monuments.

You can read interviews with great artists: Malik Anas Al-Rajab (from Iraq), Orhan Dağli (from Turkey), Haris Memija (from Bosnia and Herzegovina), eL-Seed (from France) and Khawar Bilal (from Pakistan). In addition, we present the David Museum in Copenhagen, which has one of the most valuable collections of Islamic art in Europe.

We recommend the central article of this issue that presents tugra, sultan’s signature as a special aspect of Islamic calligraphy. The article is accompanied by photographs of the Bosnian tugra collections.

Learn how to make a digital arabesque in Adobe Illustrator and many other topics.

Enjoy reading new 260 pages of Islamic Arts Magazine.
