"Traveling side-by-side, a couple of mature betta fish swim together in this painting from Bali. Mahmud paints this composition, capturing the bettas in hues of red, blue and white. The male betta displays elaborate, frilly fins while the female is more modest, yet rich in hues of blue. Says Mahmud, 'Betta fish are beautiful fish; even though they are small, their colors are awesome. All of their fins can be opened wide like a flower. Each betta fish has a different color, like yellow, red, blue, white, and other mixed colors.'"

"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!”
