"About his original composition, Balinese artist Mahmud says 'There is a couple of betta fish that look romantic in the middle of other betta fish. An aggressive betta fish can really show off its beauty when it is about to attract a female.' At the center of this composition, two betta fish show off their vibrant colors, hoping to attract a mate. Mahmud paints this scene in a realist style, bathing the group of bettas in sunlight that diffuses into rays as it passes through the water."

"I moved to Bali to gather more experience," he says. "At first, life was really tough here. To be able to live and to buy painting materials, I had to sell soup and meatballs from a pushcart on the street, from morning until late evening. Sometimes I would earn enough money for the day, but other times I wouldn't.
"To improve my life, I decided to devote even more attention to my painting. I began to paint and to sell my work in galleries.
"Most of my paintings depict the arwana, or dragon fish. I am fascinated with this particular fish, because it is a symbol of prosperity. We believe the dragon fish will bring success to its owner. Hopefully, it will bring good luck for me!”
