Ma Qingxiong was born in Guangdong China. He started painting and participating in art shows in China at an early age. He earned a B.S. degree in Meteorology at the Qingdao Oceanographic University, and later became a vocalist, never stopping his painting.

After traveling to the US and returning to China, he began exhibiting with his signature style that blends the philosophy and technique of Chinese painting with western art concepts.

He immigrated to Boston in 1991, and has exhibited in the Boston area, Los Angeles, and New York City. He devotes his love and passion to teaching.

“I consider the brush-stroke the essence and the language of Chinese Painting. And though ever mindful of the tradition of my training, I have found my own expression with my brush. In my landscapes, I use ink and gouache in many layers to give the painting texture and depth, and sometimes paint on both sides of the absorbent rice paper. I call this technique 'Heavily-Colored Free-Hand Chinese Painting.' Inspiration for my landscapes started in China with Huang Shan (the Yellow Mountains), the Great Wall, and the Yangtze River and continue in America with the Grand Canyon, the Pacific Coast, and New England.

“I love music. I recorded two albums of songs. I often relate music to painting, stating that they both have their origin in the heart and spirit of the artist and that they are both expressions of nature and life.
