At an early age, Huang Xian'an was influenced by the great master Xu Beihong's predecessors, and repeatedly studied and figured out Master Xu Beihong's ink-drenched freehand horse. Subsequently, he was guided by his father, Professor Huang Yanghui, a famous Chinese painter, and Mr. Liu Jiji. He also learned the horse painting methods of ancient Han Gan, Li Gonglin, Lang Shining and other famous artists, and absorbed foreign and Han and Tang Dynasty stone sculptures, the shortness of horses in murals and the tallness of foreign horses into his own works, forming his own style.

His paintings and horses have broad compositions, rough brush and ink, and are painted with books, with full shape, far-reaching rhyme, and magnificent style. It is mainly manifested in: the beauty of the composition, good works can not be separated from good forms of expression, good layout and mixing, it is the disseminator of lyrical expression of works. Mr. Huang's intentional composition, whether it is a huge group of horses or a small double horse, can take the horse as the main depiction object, with a close-up technique, the horse is placed in the vast cosmic time and space, the vast grassland and wilderness, the golden sunshine, there is little superfluous background, so that the horse gallops and jumps between heaven and earth to the greatest extent, which not only highlights the subject matter, but also makes the picture open and far-reaching, giving people unlimited reverie. It has reached the composition effect of mainly moving, virtual reality, opening and closing, and clearly distinguishing between near and far, which shows its macroscopic grasp and microscopic processing ability.

His paintings fully reflect a painter's sense of innovation and social responsibility and mission in traditional culture, and are full of a kind of zhengda atmosphere, a thousand jun strength, a magnificent image, and a humanistic rhyme. Therefore, his paintings are simple and sincere, they are majestic, majestic, and insightful. It is the crystallization of strength and passion, talent and character, temperament and cultivation, the fusion of traditional methods and innovative thoughts. It is a successful example of the combination of realism and romantic feelings of the literati and the feelings of the times.

There is no doubt that his art of painting horses is a work of the times that combines both technique, artistry, ideology and spirituality, which confirms the connotation of "small families look at brush and ink, famous artists look at the weather, and everyone looks at the spirit", and has become a representative figure in the paintings of the new literati who combines thought and talent, character and learning appropriately, and dominates the contemporary painting world.
