Escape Into Life
It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.

Maleonn
2009
Ma Liang, also known as Maleonn (1972 Shanghai), is a talented Shanghai photographer who has gained a kind of cult following because of his fable-like photographs. His images, in color and black and white, are often created with props, actors and a strange mix of hues, colors and theatrical sets. A graduate of the Fine Arts College of Shanghai University, Ma Liang studied graphic design, and it shows in his works, which blend a new style with the look and feel of old photographic images, when colors were unrefined. He lives and works in Shanghai. (ArtZineChina)

My work reflects my personality and the things that are most meaningful and sentimental to me.
Before becoming an illustrator, I was, by turns : an astrophysician, an international snooker champion, a hypnotist and an esperanto teacher.
