      Ma Yongping was born in Beijing in 1958. He studied art at the Zhejiang Fine Arts Institute and China Central Handcrafts and Fines Arts University. he is a member of the Beijing Artist Association and Art Editor for a China Newspaper. His painting have been shown in Canada, France, Hong Kong, Thailand and other countries. His name  can be found in  China Modern Artists Directory (Shanghai Fine Arts Publishing House), Who Is Who of Contemporary Chinese Artists (China International Broadcast Publishing House), and World Who Is Who: China Volume (Hongkong).

   Mr. Ma has a distinctive style and has mastered his medium and technique to a degree that few other Eastern artists have achieved. This is demonstrated by the paintings displayed here. The material Ma Yongping uses is a kind of natural mineral material, combining with the traditional Chinese painting paper. The Dunhuang Frescoes made by this kind of material has a history of over one thousand year. So far, they are still brilliant. Maybe the same will be true for Ma's works. His themes have been typically of traditional Chinese culture and religion (Buddhist) and provide the Western intellect with a new and inspired insight to  this ancient Eastern philosophy.
