  The name Beta is derived from the Malay word ikan betah, which means 'persevere fish'.
 Bettas are nice, beautiful, and have plentiful fins. 

​ Like a chiffon curtain, the fins move beautifully like a curtain blows in the wind according to the current and sometimes movement, which is one of the biggest reasons people love and raise betta fish. The movement and flow of these fins is the best material for painting, as I want to capture the energy of things.

 Blue Beta Fish have been popular in their own way. Looking at this picture, I got good reviews. Actually, I put this picture on a free image sharing site called Pixar Bay, and I was able to check the popularity of this beta here too. 

​ In such a small beta fish, you will feel the wonder and beauty of the enormous natural energy and life. Capturing and drawing these energies is also enjoyable.

 I personally admire and try to follow the painter Cézanne.

 Cézanne was one of the leading painters of Post-Impressionism. Post-Impressionism is an art movement that emerged after Impressionism. Impressionist painters were most active in Paris during the 1870s and 1880s. Post-Impressionist painters followed suit in the 1880s and 1890s, and the name ‘Post-Impressionism’ actually came around 1910.

 Post-Impressionist painters largely inherited the first attempts of the Impressionists to break with the art of the past. It resembles the Impressionists in that it selects the subject matter in ordinary and trivial daily life, and gives a feeling of ‘less painting’ by directly painting outdoors. However, the Post-Impressionists were much more conceptual than the Impressionists. To them, Impressionist works were seen as superficial paintings that focused only on the visible. So, instead of drawing what the eye can see, they strongly reflected their own subjective feelings. Van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Seurat are representative painters of the Post-Impressionism.

 Relying on these subjective senses, there are paintings that destroy objective composition, light reflection, contrast, and saturation.

 Thanks to the popularity of blue beta fish, the next completed picture is two moving fish. Based on the oriental salvage theory, this picture is drawn by converting the Taegeuk shape that comes to mind into a beta fish.

​ Yin-Yang is the framework of the idea that all things exist based on the understanding of natural phenomena, with the energy of heaven above and the energy of the earth below. Since the shape and basis of all things can be understood as the energy of yin and yang, it was believed that the changing and developing phenomena were also made by the sympathy of the two energies of yin and yang.

  ​Isn't the beauty of an object the energy it possesses? Just as artificially made flowers no longer have a fragrance and cannot keep up with the beauty of a living flower, I believe that the vitality or energy of an object itself determines the beauty of that object.

Relying on these subjective senses, there are paintings that destroy objective composition, light reflection, contrast, and saturation. It is one of Cézanne's famous paintings, "Card players".

 If you look closely at this picture, you can see that the direction and perspective of the light are very different. 

​ Cézanne thought that Impressionist painters had lost the solidity and harmony of nature as they followed only the momentary changes according to the change of sunlight. The card in the painting symbolizes the flat paintings of the Impressionist painters that Cézanne criticized. He said, "Nature is always constant, but the appearance is always changing. So the artist must hold onto the eternal mystery that never changes." He emphasized his philosophy.

 ​I also want to become an artist who captures the eternal mystery and beauty that never changes.
