Wallpaper | Arabic Calligraphy

So, first project to share on Behance. Not really new, I did it back in September 2019. A 2K monochrome wallpaper with Arabic calligraphy in the background, and a blur filter on top. I began with recreating a square tile that's originally on one of the walls of Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, featuring the verse, "تمد لها الجوزاء كف مصافح ويدنوا لها بدر السماء مناجيا," which roughly translates to: the Gemini constellation extends a hand to shake hers, and the full moon up in the sky orbits closer, confiding in her its affections.

The verse itself is from a poem written by Ibn Zamrak, titled: "سل الأفق بالزهر الكواكب حاليا"
The full tile in colour, tried my best to capture the same hues of the original.
And lastly, the coloured version of the wallpaper.
