| Summary: | This study aims to identify the mathematical concept evident in the paintings entitled 'Mahsuri II'
(1983) by Sulaiman Esa through symmetry analysis. The objective of this study is to do research on the
factors connecting art appreciation aspects by describing the concept of symmetry that exist trough
the beauty of pattern design in paintings that exhibits Islamic art images. This study involves creative
analysis through a qualitative approach with descriptive inter-disciplinary implementation. Symmetric
feature research is performed to classify the pattern design of paintings through the process of
symmetry involving repetition. The collection of written and visual data was performed by means of
documentation, visual recording, and observation methods to obtain information on the subject,
design and meaning of the artwork studied. The research uncovered that aesthetical beauty value in
Islamic art images that is defined through mathematical expression became the underlying element in
paintings design that applies symmetric pattern design concept. It is not an exaggeration to say that
symmetry is the basic principle that has long been a hidden structure underpinning the best works of
art ever produced in the history of Islamic art. Research has reported that painting can be seen not only from the art's formalistic point of view, but also from the ethnomathematical angle, through the
application of symmetrical features in the production of artworks. This study presents some of the
ethnomathematical and Malay-Muslims discussions in its vast research. This is an implicit innovation
element present in every thought of society. Efforts to enrich the scope of probable new possibilities in
the field of painting are very meaningful and beneficial for today's and future generations. |
