I did a lot of research on such buildings and preserved them in my paintings. My paintings are the clear evidence of the inspiration and preservation of many historical buildings showing the walled city of Lahore's life in relation with new and Mughal era of 16th & 17th Centuries AD. architecture which are now getting overwhelmed by the latest and modern architecture. But in this painting I inspired by the same but new modern buildings from the Dubai Creek with sailing old boat and flying bird.
