Kites Over the Golden Square

This radiant acrylic painting by Zahid Saleem captures the vibrant energy of a kite festival under a brilliant, sun-drenched golden 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 shades of emerald, violet, and crimson dot the sky, while the rooftops below are crowded with small, expressive figures celebrating the festivities. The artist uses a rich, 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 traditions that bring a city to life.
