And there is Islamic art and architecture, works of art and architecture created in countries where Islam has been dominant and embodying Muslim in it's themes. The Muslims derived their unique style from synthesizing the arts of Byzantines, the Copts, the Bomans and the Sassanids. A big strength to Islamic art lies in it's ability to synthesize native designs elements with impported ones. An impotant factor in Islamic art is abtract decoration of the surface.
