Starry Skies & Colorful Kites

This striking square-format acrylic painting by Zahid Saleem offers a dramatic contrast to his previous daytime festival scenes. Set against a deep, textured charcoal-black sky, a multitude of neon-bright kites in shades of pink, yellow, and turquoise soar above a monochrome cityscape. The buildings of the old city are rendered in expressive strokes of black and white, creating a gritty, urban feel that makes the colorful kites appear like floating jewels. With its bold, modern aesthetic and energetic composition, this piece perfectly captures the magic of a city that never sleeps during festival season.
