Concept: This oil painting celebrates the vibrant tradition of Bangladeshi rickshaw art, a unique form of folk expression that is gradually disappearing with the rise of digital printing. By recreating the bold colors, expressive imagery, and handcrafted aesthetic of traditional rickshaw paintings, the work highlights the cultural value of this endangered art form and calls for its preservation as an important part of Bangladesh’s visual heritage.

Exhibited at: 15^th Berger Young Painters Art Competition. Zainul Gallery University of Dhaka, Bangladesh (2010).
