In the Malay pantun: Pisang emas dibawa belayar, Masak sebiji di atas peti; Hutang emas boleh dibayar, Hutang budi dibawa mati. The kindness and help offered by others should always be remembered in the heart. The paintings of Zaim Durulaman are well composed with an intuitive sense of scale and proportion. The artist's favourite subject are boats, deriving inspiration from its beautiful and distinctive shape. In Pisang Emas Dibawa Belayar #10, the messages conveyed by these objects are subtle, like the bananas - a remedy to prevent sea sickness, the jetty, for a place to rest, numbers for identity. A dark background was used to allow the boat to stand out. Zaim Durulaman has been a full-time artist since 1990.
