It is said that art is the tangible representation of one’s emotions, and Ma Fenghui’s paintings have indeed rooted in this theory. Ma attaches great importance to self-expression and naturalness. With respect to self-expression, his pine trees are true-to-life, with every needle natural and vividly depicted. Taking advantage of self-expression and naturalness, while not being constrained by these qualities, Ma has gained a thorough understanding of nature and people.
