Square Kufic Tessellations
"What I want to depict in my art is the omnipresence of God in the universe. Not only is God present, but He is present with all His attributes. My designs are a visual representation of invocation to God and His praise and glorification through the repetition of His names. Another dimension of my work is to portray the artistry of God through the order, design and harmony apparent in all things. God is beautiful and He loves beauty." - Shakil Akram Khan
