Pakistani Truck Art

Pakistanis Take Truck Painting to a Whole New Level

Truck painting has become a distinctively Pakistani art form.

Scholars have traced evidence of decorated transport in the Subcontinent back thousands of years. The Pakistani practice of truck painting began gaining widespread popularity soon after the country’s independence.

While trucks in India and other countries may feature embellishment, few are decorated quite as extravagantly — or as thoroughly and painstakingly — as Pakistani trucks.
