Taiwan Craft Home - Huang Ma-qing Wood Carving Studio Introduction
Born in Lukang, a place renowned for its master sculptors, he began his apprenticeship at the age of 14 under the woodcarver Mr. Wang Jin-yi, laying the foundation for his traditional wood carving skills. The wood carving techniques of Lukang mainly originate from the Quanzhou school in mainland China, characterized by intricate styles that vividly depict scenes of flowers, birds, insects, fish, and historical figures. Huang Ma-qing's wood carving creations further focus on the ecological environment of Taiwan, such as wetlands, horseshoe crabs from Kinmen, and the Black-faced Spoonbill at the Qigu estuary, among others. He invests his emotions into each piece of wood, awakening the public to the reality that "human selfish behavior has already destroyed the habitats of coexisting species." In order to preserve these beautiful images for the future, he strives to carve their likenesses as a way to seek the beautiful memories that once existed in this land.
