Much of the work made by Saad Qureshi reflects his interest in the role of religion in the modern world. He states that by using stories from both the Bible and the Quran he is able to present ‘the failures of ideals and belief systems’ in modern life’. The conflict between spirituality and reality frequently features as symbolic representations in his works.
Qureshi describes his ethnicity as British Asian and the presence of Islamic and Christian influences in his work are both an acknowledgement of multiculturalism and a reminder of the shared origins from which the Abrahamic religions derive.
