"Usually, I paint at night," said Rohmad, who often incorporates local Borneo wisdom into his strokes on the canvas. About the development of the IKN in Kalimantan, known for its forest riches, it is highlighted that the development must proceed in balance with environmental preservation. Moral messages are conveyed through color, lines, shapes, and images in the paintings.
Over time, Rohmad was offered to teach painting at a school owned by PT Badak, which he accepted. Pursuing a career as an educator also made his mother allow him to paint again. However, in producing artwork of economic value, Rohmad only started doing so around the early 2000s. "I provide canvas and paint. Just come to learn and don't take it home. Anyone can come, from youngsters in grade 5 of elementary school to the elderly," said Rohmad.
