The nail art for 2021 was a geometric art movement. Laid down on a path by the art geniuses before us. Artists use it, mathematicians use it, musicians use it, even spiritualists refer to the flower of life.

Firstly, geometry is studying the relationships between lines, angles, and surfaces. One of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawings was the man inside the square/circle, portraying the visual image of the geometry of man.

A common picture when looking at geometric patterns is the flower of life. The flower consists of 19 overlapping circles, spaced evenly, to create a perfectly symmetrical flower. It’s documented that the 1st image of the geometric flower dates to 645 BC.

Geometric everywhere?

Sacred geometry is the observation of universal patterns found in the universe’s foundations. As previously touched on, geometric sequences are also in mathematics, the numbers follow a pattern or rule. Interest rates in the bank also contain a level of geometric sequences.

Musical note frequencies each have a specific frequency called a pitch. The interval between the pitches is called an octave, all entangled into a mathematical sequence.

Dutch painter Piet Mondrian created one of the most famous geometric pieces of art known. Kandinsky, mentioned in previous blog about abstract art was also a participant of the geometric movement. Both pioneers in these styles of painting by using simple geometric shapes to portray a feeling, movement and a whole emotion.

• What is a geometric shape?
• How do we miss that they are all around us?

The cabbage in the fridge, the flowers on your dining table and the pinecones in your potpourri bowl. Notable examples of nature’s geometry consist of snowflakes, diamonds, shells, trees, and sunflower heads. These beautiful items are in front of our eyes every day.

This could be why this common nail art request is timeless. Natural geometric shapes will continue to make an impression on us every day. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious.

Nail art is evolving every day, just like fashion, all trends come round again. Geometric patterns are always in our trends, whether there are lines dots circles or squares we are wearing them every year.

Approaching this style of nail is something you can also do at home too. Home nail art can be fun. In the end, nothing in life needs to be perfect and nail art is no exception.
