If you mean a sense of beauty, I think most cultures have concept of what is beautiful, but it varies a lot even within a culture;
Eg I a can appreciate the stunning beauty in nature as well as say the beauty in Michelangelo's Pieta in St Peter's, paintings by Renoir, and even Blue Poles.
Psychologists argue that we humans have a hard wired need for order. Order and patterns are common in nature; EG the Fibonacci spiral, based on the Fibonacci sequence. "The golden mean" used by Renaissance artists, expressed by Leonardo Da Vinci in his drawing 'Vitruvian man'.
I can say a sense of aesthetics is probably universal, but I can't prove it.

I haven't posted details because they contain a lot of maths which I don't understand.
