The use of rhombus patterns on textiles in eastern and western art

Abstract

The paper presents a comparative analysis of rhombus patterns, studying their symbolic meanings, structural features and modern representation. The rhombus is a fundamental geometric pattern in decorative arts, with profound cultural significance and a prominent place in both Eastern and Western artistic traditions. This element links historical traditions with contemporary aesthetics, from traditional Xinjiang carpets and Romanian folk art to contemporary textile and clothing design. The universal significance of the rhombus as an element of textile design and the prospects for its use in modern practice are determined.
