Artist Profile:

Laiba Gull is a contemporary artist from Pakistan with over 8 years of experience rooted in the vibrant tradition of Pakistani truck art. Renowned for transforming moving vehicles into rolling canvases of culture, Nawaz brings the same intensity of color, storytelling, and symbolism to his fine art practice.

Deeply inspired by the ornamental and folkloric visual language of truck art, Laiba’s current work explores the intersection between tradition and abstraction. His paintings often blend bold motifs with impressionistic gestures, resulting in textured compositions that reflect the rhythm, chaos, and spirituality of South Asian urban life.

His abstract works reinterpret the floral patterns, calligraphy, and iconography from his truck art heritage, while his impressionist pieces evoke a sense of place and memory, grounded in the cultural richness of Pakistan.
