Ghulam Sarwar always admired the brightly colored flamboyant trucks painted with images of idealized landscapes, famous personalities, flowers and trees that reminded truck drivers of their homes on their long journeys down south.  He and other truck artists have imaginatively adapted this traditional art form to include smaller household items painted in the style of truck art.  These objects are used in homes and street side cafés.  Ghulam and others take on apprentices to teach them the visual language of truck art motifs to keep this threatened art form alive.

Ghulam Sarwar, together with fellow truck artists, were recipients of the UNESCO Award of Excellence in 2008.
