(Dunya News) - One of the most unique and attractive art that is seen on the roads of Pakistan is truck art. This form of art is seen prominently on cargo trucks, public transport buses and rickshaws. But the most predominant aspects of this artwork are the bright colours and colourful phrases that add life to it.

Truck art has gained its popularity not just in Pakistan but even across the world.

A group of talented artists in Zamzama, Karachi are converting simple items into eye-catching art using digital paints inscribed with popular truck art phrases. "Dekh magar pyar say”, “jalnay walon ka moo kala” are just some of the phrases that are used on trucks and have now made their way on basic household items.
