About Ride to Riches
The God of Wealth rides a koi the size of a beanbag. He is a laughing, white-bearded figure in a red robe and a red hat set with gold coin discs, one arm raised with a big gold coin stamped 暴富, the other cradling an ingot. The fish under him is orange and gold, scaled, mouth open, mid-leap.
The koi is the larger sculpture and the better painted. Its scales lie in overlapping rows that catch light along the ridge of the back, the belly fades from orange to cream, and the fins thin out at the edges until they look translucent. The rider is smaller but busier: gold trim on the robe, a belt with a round buckle, a green bead in the hat, small dark boots planted on the fish's back. The whole piece is gloss-sealed, so it shines like a lacquer box.
Two puns are working at once. The koi (鱼, yú) sounds like surplus (余, yú), so fish have meant 'may you always have more than enough' for centuries; 暴富 on the coin is blunter — sudden wealth. Together they make something half blessing, half joke, which is why it works as a housewarming gift, an opening present for a shop, or a Lunar New Year addition to a console. It is also, frankly, cheerful in a way most lucky objects are not.
Placing the sculpture
Hand-painted resin, sealed and finished by hand — it sits on any sturdy shelf, console or display case with no mounting needed. Keep it out of long, direct sun and away from damp spots; a soft dry cloth is all the upkeep it asks.

Caring for the sculpture
Dust with a soft dry cloth, working around the fins and the raised coin rather than pressing them. Keep it out of direct sun — the orange is the first colour to shift — and off hot window sills. No solvents; the gloss coat is durable but not chemical-proof.

Questions
Questions buyers ask about this piece
Yes. The sizes on this page are the standard ladder, but any proportional size can be made — send the wall dimensions and we will confirm the exact canvas and price the same day. There is no surcharge for a non-standard size, only the normal price step.
By card or PayPal in US dollars, against a proper invoice from Shenzhen Adam Art Co., Ltd. Nothing is charged before you approve the mock-up (for a commission) or the photograph of the finished canvas (for a reproduction). Payment is settled in full against one invoice — there is no checkout button because the painting does not exist yet — your enquiry is the order, and the invoice comes before any payment.
A print reproduces the image; it cannot reproduce the surface. Brush ridges, the slight variation of each stroke and the way oil catches raking light are what make a painting read as a painting across a room — and they are exactly what a flat print loses. Every piece here is painted by hand on canvas, signed, varnished, and shipped with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
Yes — that is the point of commissioning rather than ordering stock. You receive two progress photographs while it is being painted, then a photograph of the finished canvas with one free round of adjustments. Nothing is dispatched until you are happy with what you have seen.
Painting takes three to five weeks, then three to five business days in transit, tracked and insured. Rush delivery (three weeks, painting included) is available for $90. The price on this page is $1,134 for the smallest size — larger sizes and extra subjects step up on the published ladder, so there is no quote to wait for.
