Basant Skies

This vibrant and energetic acrylic painting by Zahid Saleem captures the joy and color of a traditional kite-flying festival. Set against a striking turquoise sky, dozens of multi-colored kites dance above a cityscape of whitewashed rooftops. The artist uses a modern, semi-abstract style with bold textures to depict the bustling activity on the balconies below, where figures gather to celebrate. The cool teal tones of the background beautifully contrast with the pops of red, yellow, and purple kites, creating a sense of height, freedom, and cultural celebration. This compact yet high-impact piece is perfect for adding a splash of color and a sense of movement to any contemporary space.
