Ma was awarded Long Zhongli scholarship in 2008. As an extremely sensitive, delicate and powerful young female artist, Ma’s works are full of living experience and spiritual expression on the basis of paying attention to social reality. She was always able to forcibly reassemble the broken reality in unexpected ways, and deal with the absurd and dramatic reality in a light way but never forgets to emphasize its importance. In poetic language, she presents the spiritual pain and athymia in the context of the great era. By dismembering and reconstructing the reality, she dances with all kinds of reality and absurdity in the context of this era, the coexistence of drama and reality, struggle and bondage. In her paintings, destruction and reconstruction are constantly intertwined, struggled and reconciled. Her works provide a good sample for us to understand the art and reality.
