Festival Over the Walled City

This vibrant and energetic acrylic painting by Zahid Saleem captures the exhilarating spirit of a traditional kite festival. Set against a brilliant teal and turquoise sky, a multitude of colorful kites—in shades of red, yellow, pink, and purple—soar high above a bustling urban landscape. The artist uses expressive, textured brushstrokes to depict the rooftops of the old city, where small figures gather to join in the festivities. The high-contrast palette and vertical composition create a sense of joy and upward movement, making this piece a perfect tribute to cultural heritage and the simple beauty of a sky in bloom.
