M: My name is Ma Liang, was born and grown up here in Shanghai, China. I'm 36 years old. I started my photograph-based creation in 2004. Before that, I was engaged in film director and art director of advertisement video works. While even before that, I was learning painting and graphic design from middle school to college. I had spent 11 years to learn to be a painter, and dreamt to be an artist.

I was born in an art family. Both of my parents are artists. So it's naturally for me to work on artworks. And I've never been doubted whether I would be an artist. After graduation, I went to work in the advertisement film field because of loving films, and hoped to be closer to the films. 9 years later I found that couldn't be realized. There's nothing related between commercial film and movie. What I had done has nothing to do with my dream of art. Then I quit my previous job, started to work as an independent creator.　　

M: I love beautiful colors. In the work, I often change the real color from the life, and put on the more moving color from my imagination. Color is the simplest language. I like using special colors to construct the image full of emotions.

When I was a kid, the teacher always said my color was weird, even suggested me to learn sculpture because even a colorblind was also able to work on sculpture. That was almost abusing me. I was so angry that time. Now I don't think the teacher was wrong, I do have the weird sensitive feeling towards color.
