Truck painting is a popular form of art in Pakistan and other South Asian countries. Trucks, buses and sometimes minivans are highly decorated by their owners in kaleidoscopic color schemes. The paintings usually include some architectural structure, birds, floral patterns, mirror work, wood work and hilarious poetic one-liners crafted in calligraphy. After many years, this idea has turned into a full-fledged cultural representation of Pakistan. Miniatures of trucks and rickshaws are created, which are often sold at the souvenir shops. However, this idea has also entered the fashion industry with designers decorating clothes, shoes and accessories with gorgeous truck art.
Some of the quotes that are painted on the trucks:
1. Dil baraye farukht qeemant bus ik mushkaraht (Heart for sale just for a smile)
2. Duniya jalti rahi, shahzadi chalti rahi (The world may burn but the princess will run)
3. Speed meri jawani, overtake mera nakhra (Speed is my youth, overtaking is my attitude)
4. Zidd na kar gujjar ap bara ziddi eyy (Don't be stubborn, I'm really stubborn myself)
