Nabeel Khan is an artist and photographer. Born in London, he studied in the UK before starting a career in the TV/film post-production world. In his late twenties, he first started noticing the commonality of geometry in all religions, and he pursued more knowledge about this at the Prince’s School of Traditional Arts in London. He moved to Australia eight years ago and dove head-first into his art, which is heavily inspired by the eternal shapes he had been learning about.
