This painting captures a lively street scene in a warm, sunlit town, rendered in a loose, expressive style bursting with color.

Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas. The Badshahi Mosque was constructed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb between 1671 and 1673 and was the largest mosque in the world. The mosque is an important example of Mughal architecture, with an exterior that is decorated with carved red sandstone with marble inlay. It remains the largest mosque of the Mughal-era. and is now one of Pakistan’s most iconic sights. I am thrilled to paint this mosque as it is a great reminder of Muslim rule over the Subcontinent. I have many childhood memories that are relived every time that I see this painting. Size: 24×36 inches

Acrylics on gallery wrapped canvas Size: 36x36 This painting is a vibrant and intricate piece blending architectural and floral elements in a dreamlike, almost surreal composition. On the left side, there’s a stylized building resembling Mughal or Persian architecture — featuring arched windows, domed roofs, and decorative scalloped details in shades of brown, gold, and blue. The domes are particularly eye-catching, highlighted with warm metallic tones that give them a glowing, almost radiant effect. On the right, flowing organic patterns of flowers and vines dominate the composition. The flowers, painted in lively pinks and blues with touches of gold, seem to swirl upward, intertwining with the building. Gold filigree lines and curving stems connect the natural and architectural elements, creating a sense of unity and movement. The background consists of soft, blended hues of beige, gold, and sky blue, overlaid with faint circular and geometric patterns that add depth and texture. The entire piece has a luxurious, almost ethereal feel — fusing nature and architecture in a harmonious, ornamental design.
