Fruits are laid on a wooden table, situated at a tranquil neighborhood park. The artist draws attention to the enticing textures of the fruit, including the waxy texture of the watermelon skin, the ripe, juicy, and red colored watermelon fruit, banana skins, and water droplets. The still life alludes to a picnic gathering.
Self-taught Latif Maulan made headlines when he won Redbull EhWauBulan showcase in 2016 though he has been known for his topsy-turvy figure under water. He was also finalist in the prestigious MEAA competition in 2009. Stints in New York (2000), Australia (2001) and Britain (2002, 2013) including a solo at the Barbican Gallery in Plymouth enhance his reputation.

He has participated in group exhibitions such as Hom Art Open 2020, Pahang Art Heritage 2019. His solo exhibition, Tales Of Apocalypse, was held at Galeri TitikMerah in 2018. His works are included in the collection of the House Of Parliament Malaysia, SaatchiArt Collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, Mead Johnson Art Collection, New York, USA, National Art Gallery Malaysia and Bank Negara Malaysia.
