The ethnic inspiration for this piece is Italian culture and what it is more famously known for.
Italy is very well known for things such as the rich wines, famous art, the gourmet coffee beans and espresso, the canals that run through many parts of the country, and the shape of the country. These aspects are highlighted in this pattern.
The rich wine color is represented in the background color and texture. The shape of the country is taken and placed as symbols within the design, while the textures from the coffee beans are placed inside the boot shape of the country to create a texture rich composition that relates to the texture rich country of Italy. The sentence, “Ars longa, Vita Breva”, which means “art is long, life is short” is placed in the background to represent the curves of the canals, while it also stands for the art that Italy is known for.

The first image is the original pattern. The second image comes from the original image repeated several times to create a larger composition.
