Taiwan Craft Design Center - Huang Ma-Qing Woodcarving Studio Introduction
Born in the sculpting hub of Lukang, he started apprenticing under the wood sculptor Mr. Wang Jin-yi at the age of 14, establishing a solid foundation in traditional wood carving. The wood carving skills of Lukang are primarily inherited from the Quanzhou school of Fujian Province, characterized by a delicate style that vividly depicts flowers, birds, insects, fish, and figures from classic tales. Huang Ma-qing's wood carving works focus on raising awareness of Taiwan's natural ecological environment, such as wetlands, horseshoe crabs in Kinmen, and the black-faced spoonbills at Qigu estuary. He pours his emotions into each piece of wood, and through the meticulous carving, aims to awaken the public to the message that "human selfishness has already destroyed the habitat of cohabiting species." To preserve these beautiful forms, he strives to carve their images, seeking to uncover the precious memories that once existed in this land.
