According to my math textbook tessellations are prominent in Islamic art, Italian mosaics, quilts and ceramics. A very famous tessellation artist is M.C.Escher he created many paints, drawing, and prints using tessellations of interlocking animals. His art reflects the mathematics that underlies all things.

Tessellations are frequently used in graphics arts and interior decorating. Since the Koran forbids the use of images of people or animals, many Muslim buildings are decorated with tessellations.
