Embrace

Ma Changli is not only an oil painter, but also an art educator. He is especially good at folk paintings and landscape paintings. In his long-term artistic practice, he combines the essence of Western impressionist art skills with the essence of freehand lyricism of Oriental art, forming an artistic style characterized by elegant color, bold freehand brushwork and Lyric mood. This landscape painting was created by Ma Changli in 2004 when he participated in the "Chinese famous oil painters · Gulangyu Landscape Sketch Creation Activity". The Gulangyu Island in the painting is not a monotonous and lonely isolated island. It is closely nestled in the embrace of the blue sky and the sea. The author describes it with his brush, and depicts a broad, fresh and thorough emotional picture.
