Golden Sky over the Walled City

This vibrant acrylic painting by Zahid Saleem captures the exhilarating spirit of a traditional kite festival under a brilliant, sun-drenched saffron sky. The composition features a high-angle view of a historic city square, anchored by an ancient white gateway and warm terracotta-colored walls. Dozens of colorful kites in various shades dance across the golden horizon, while the rooftops below are alive with small, expressive figures celebrating the festivities. The artist uses his signature textured technique to depict the bustling market stalls and urban architecture, creating a sense of joy and cultural vitality. This piece is a warm and lively tribute to the local traditions that bring the city to life.
