Vivid strokes | Ma Qiang's watercolor work
Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, Ma Qiang's watercolor works paint a series of quiet and vivid pictures. Deeply influenced by the French Barbizon School and contemporary artist Andrew Wise, each painting is a recreation of the story he personally experienced, from the winter mountain village to the vastness of the wilderness, and each stroke is an expression of the heart.
In "Quiet Woods", Ma Qiang uses acrylic on paper and a 58×88cm canvas as the medium to vividly show the tranquility of winter and the verdant woods. It's not just a static picture, it's a state of mind experience. He fuses the trunk of the tree after the leaves fall off with the structure of the mountain to express the unique tranquility and solemnity of winter, and at the same time, appropriately adds the embellishment of life to make the whole picture more vibrant and charming.
"Walnut Forest in Early Winter" is presented in the form of acrylic watercolor, and the 58×88cm canvas outlines the walnut forest in early winter. Through the detailed depiction of this work, people feel as if they are in the forest at the beginning of winter, and feel the tranquility and vitality of nature. Ma Qiang is good at using the layering of colors to make the picture more three-dimensional, thus enhancing the viewer's sense of immersion.
Ma Qiang's works are not only artistically exquisite, but also have won many awards in the competition. From winning the Excellence Award at the Yaheng Cup National Calligraphy and Painting Boutique Station in 2000 to the first prize at the 12th Henan Art Exhibition in 2014, his works have won many awards in various exhibitions at home and abroad, which fully demonstrates his perseverance and efforts on the road of art.
Each work is the crystallization of Ma Qiang's profound observation and thinking about life. He likes to go out and shoot material because he believes that only through personal experience can he integrate his inner emotions into his work. He challenged himself to depict grasslands and reeds, exploring the beauty of nature, and constantly enriching his artistic expression.
In addition to art itself, Ma Qiang is also an educator and navigator. As an associate professor at the School of Fine Arts of Anyang University, he actively participates in teaching and research, serving as the director of the color teaching and research department, and is committed to cultivating more students who are interested in art. His teaching philosophy runs through his works, focusing on students' creative inspiration and personality development, and stimulating each student's love and desire for exploration in art.
Ma Qiang's watercolor works are not only an artistic expression, but also a spiritual journey. He uses brushstrokes to outline the beauty and mystery of nature, which makes people feel the beauty of life and the emotional resonance while appreciating it. These works will continue to accompany the viewer and lead them into a world full of poetry and imagination.
