Producing Contemporary Textile Art Designs Inspired by the Asiri Cat Art Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This study aims to employ artificial intelligence techniques in producing contemporary textile art designs inspired by Al-Qatt Al-Asiri, combining the authenticity of Saudi heritage elements with the modernity provided by digital tools. The research adopted a descriptive-analytical approach in addition to an experimental methodology, by generating a set of textile patterns using AI and presenting them to a sample of art experts for evaluation based on a Likert scale. The results revealed that the produced designs are characterized by high artistic quality in terms of composition and color harmony, while successfully reflecting the traditional aesthetics of Al-Qatt Al-Asiri within a contemporary framework. Furthermore, findings demonstrated the potential of integrating AI as a supportive tool in creating applicable textile artworks, thus enhancing the role of Saudi heritage in enriching modern design and supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, especially with the declaration of 2025 as the Year of Handicrafts.
