SET OF 3 TRUCK ART COASTERS (TEA MATS)

The now vast art style of ‘truck art’ spawned from the Pakistani tradition of decorating their cargo trucks in a unique, ornate and flamboyantly glamorous fashion. Pakistani Truck Drivers would spend millions of rupees decorating their truck like a bride in order to stand out and catch the eye of a potential client. The style and themes used on those trucks soon gain popularity away from trucks and spread widely into a complete style of miniature painting.

Pakistani truck art with striking contrasts, dramatic motifs and intricate patterns have gained a global popularity and the art form has become synonymous with the cheery, uplifting spirit of the people of this region.

All of the dazzling artwork featured on these tea coasters is done by hand by young, creative artisans of Pakistan
