Celtic designs stem from ancient times and continue to fascinate and enthrall modern artists and art lovers. The art forms are often used as a base for modern art. As Celts once loosely ruled Europe their artwork has played an influential role in many cultures across the continent. Celtic designs are made up of spirals, knot work, animal forms and zoomorphic illustrations.
Celtic Designs
Celtic designs are very symbolic and those wanting to use these designs in their artwork would like to use it in the same context as the artists of old. There are however very few accepted meanings of Celtic art. The symbolism depicted in Celtic knot work is seen to be the crossing of the spiritual with the physical paths in our lives. This is a condition that affects every life on earth and many art critics believe that the art work should depict the same meaning in the ancient as well as in the modern art.
