Artisans Preserve Legacy of Truck Painting - Pakistan
An artisan carefully paints a vibrant peacock motif on the side of a truck at a workshop in the Pirwadhai area of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, on July 31, 2025. Adorned with intricate designs, mirror work, and bold colors, truck art remains a powerful symbol of cultural identity and craftsmanship across Pakistan. This long-standing tradition, which began in the 1920s, transforms cargo vehicles into moving canvases that reflect poetry, politics, religious devotion, and personal pride. Each truck serves as a unique artistic expression by its owner and painter, often featuring animals, calligraphy, landscapes, and portraits of cultural icons.
