In spring, flowers bloom in abundance—everything sprouts, and the air is filled with the vibrant spirit of the season. In my own garden, I have roses, crabapple blossoms, apricot flowers, peonies, tree peonies, violets, irises, and more. By the lakeside and in the courtyard, lilacs, magnolias, cherry blossoms, and the myriad blooms of peaches, plums, apricots, and crabapples—these are the very essence of the landscape, and also the busiest season for me.vThe Beauty: A Crabapple Tree Stands in the Courtyard; Rusa Rubus: The Raspberry Climbs the Lines of a Woman’s Ornamental Hairpin;The Apricot Tree Reaches Over the Wall; The Quarantine Time—these pieces all draw their inspiration from nature. I have watched them sprout, bloom, and fade. Over time, I’ve grown attached to them. In truth, this year, I have preserved the radiance of the passing months through them.“Closed Spring|The apricot blossom is in full bloom 4” ART OLYMPIC PRIZE 2021, and publish on Art International Contemporary Magazine 2021. “Closed Spring|The apricot blossom is in full bloom 5” was exhibited in the 2021 A HELP II International Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Italy; “Closed Spring|The apricot blossom is in full bloom 2” were in lilyma's solo exhibition “STUNNER” at How Art Museum Shanghai. “The apricot tree The fruit is ripped” exhibited at International Contemporary Exhibition “COMING-OUT” 2021.6.25-7.4 at M.A.D.S Gallery Milano. “My first roses of 2021” exhibited at 1st International Biennial of Art in the World; and pubulish onINTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY, 2021.9-10 Italy.

夏花灿烂
Lush Summer Blooms

《夏花,花香浸染作衣衫》 夏日玫瑰正盛,lilyma自己便种了十几种玫瑰花。其他的花儿有凌霄花、紫薇等等。夏花往年画了不少水彩,油画作品也有些热烈的。
《浸上花香作衣裳》这系列标题,始于2023年春夏之间。与花为伍,浸上花香作衣裳。“夏花,花香浸染作衣衫”源自她与花朵共处的日常体验。她将花香比作织物,缠绕身心,赋予作品诗意的生活气息。这一系列在2025年持续创作,包含多幅水彩写生,如《夏花:浸上花香作衣裳》系列,以轻盈笔触捕捉玫瑰、紫薇等夏花的形态与神韵。
马莉对玫瑰情有独钟,不仅种植多种玫瑰,也反复描绘其色彩与香气。她的作品常将花卉与个人生活交织,如《立夏:玫瑰花园》中,她将自己种过的玫瑰品种与女性形象并置,使花成为自我表达的符号。
Summer Flowers: Fragrance Soaked into Garments
Summer roses are in full bloom, and lilyma herself has planted more than a dozen varieties of roses. Other flowers include trumpet creepers, crape myrtles, and more. In previous years, she painted many watercolors of summer flowers, and some of her oil paintings are quite ardent as well.
The title of the series Soaked in Floral Fragrance, Woven into Garments began in the spring and summer of 2023. Living among flowers, she lets their fragrance soak into her garments. “Summer Flowers: Fragrance Soaked into Garments” originates from her everyday experience of being with flowers. She compares floral fragrance to fabric, wrapping around body and mind and giving her works a poetic sense of everyday life. The series has continued in 2025 and includes many watercolor sketches, such as the Summer Flowers: Soaked in Floral Fragrance, Woven into Garments series, capturing with light brushstrokes the forms and spirit of summer flowers such as roses and crape myrtles.
Ma Li has a particular affection for roses; she not only grows many varieties but also repeatedly depicts their colors and fragrance. Her works often intertwine flowers with her personal life. In Start of Summer: Rose Garden, for example, she juxtaposes the rose varieties she has grown with female figures, making flowers a symbol of self-expression.
Note: In English, 月季花 (Rosa chinensis), 玫瑰 (Rosa spp.), 白蔷薇 (Rosa × alba), and 野蔷薇 (Rosa multiflora) are all commonly referred to as “rose.”
秋日印象
Autumn impressions

lilyma马莉的秋日主题作品中,与“人间尤物”相关的系列以大丽花为核心意象,创作于2022年,属于《静物与风景》系列。该系列包含多幅作品,如《人间尤物大丽花》系列、《莫莉花色之人间尤物》系列、《朱槿》系列、秋日印象系列花卉写生创作,《工作室的花儿》等,采用油画、丙烯画布与混合材料创作,尺寸多为30x30cm至40x30cm,100x100cm至150cm不等。这些作品以秋日花卉,大丽花、马樱丹、玫瑰等的形态与色彩为灵感,通过细腻的笔触和丰富的色彩层次,展现秋日花卉的生机与美感,同时融入艺术家对生命、情感与自然的思考。部分作品曾在2024年昊美术馆的个展《尤物》中展出,进一步诠释了“人间尤物”这一主题对美好与生命的独特表达。
艺术家以细腻的笔触捕捉花朵的纹理与光影,使观者仿佛能感受到秋日阳光的温暖和花朵的芬芳。这种对自然的细腻观察与表达,体现了她对生命的热爱与敬畏,也让人感受到秋日并非只有凋零,更有生命的蓬勃与延续。马莉的作品强调了艺术与生活的紧密联系。她将大丽花等视作为“人间尤物”的象征,不仅是对花卉之美的赞美,更是对生命本质的探讨。在创作中,她通过混合材料的运用,赋予作品独特的质感与层次,使画面更具表现力。这种创作方式反映了她对艺术的探索精神,也体现了她对传统绘画技法的创新与突破。同时,作品中对花卉的描绘,也融入了艺术家个人的情感与经历,让观者在欣赏作品的同时,也能感受到艺术家对生活的感悟与思考。
In lilyma Ma Li’s autumn-themed works, the series related to “Femme Fatale” takes the dahlia as its core motif. Created in 2022, it belongs to the Still Life and Landscape series. This series includes many works, such as the Femme Fatale: Dahlia series, the Molly’s Floral Hues: Femme Fatale series, the Hibiscus series, the Autumn Impressions series of floral paintings from life, and Flowers in the Studio, among others. They are created with oil painting, acrylic on canvas, and mixed media, mostly in sizes ranging from 30 × 30 cm to 40 × 30 cm, and from 100 × 100 cm to 150 cm. Inspired by the forms and colors of autumn flowers—dahlias, lantana, roses, and others—these works reveal the vitality and beauty of autumn blooms through delicate brushwork and rich layers of color, while integrating the artist’s reflections on life, emotion, and nature. Some works were exhibited in the 2024 solo exhibition Femme Fatale at HOW Art Museum, further interpreting the theme of “Femme Fatale” as a unique expression of beauty and life.
冬日工作室里的花儿
Winter Studio

冬日,窗外唯有雪花。家中却有山茶、朱槿和四季桂——四季桂四季常开;还有马缨丹、天竺葵、长寿花等相伴。也会买来玫瑰、非洲菊、六出花插花。喜欢花,也喜欢插花,这些便成了生活的记录。渐渐有些上瘾——面对眼前的花瓶与花,总想在它们凋零之前,留下一点生命的痕迹。
部分代表作品:
油画系列《冬日印象:山茶花和朱槿正开》、《今冬的山茶花又开了》系列油画水彩、《冬日湖景》、《冬日印象:群花,康乃馨、山茶花、玫瑰》系列等等……
冬季通常被视为万物凋零的季节,但马莉的作品中,山茶花、康乃馨、玫瑰等花卉在寒冷中依然绽放,象征着生命的坚韧与不屈。这些花卉在冬季盛开,打破了人们对冬季的固有认知,传递出即使在艰难的环境中,生命依然充满希望和活力,鼓励人们以积极的态度面对生活中的挑战。也体现了她对生活的热爱和对美好事物的追求。即使在寒冷的冬季,她依然能够发现生活中的美好,并通过艺术创作将其呈现出来。这种对生活的热爱和追求,鼓励人们保持积极的心态,发现生活中的美好,享受生活的乐趣。
Outside in winter, there is only snow. At home, however, there are camellias, hibiscus, and four-season osmanthus—which blooms all year round—as well as lantana, geraniums, kalanchoes, and more. I also buy roses, gerberas, and alstroemerias for flower arrangements. I love flowers, and I love arranging them, so these have become a record of my life. I have grown a little addicted: facing the vase and the flowers before me, I want to leave some trace of life before they wither.
Selected works include:
the oil painting series *Winter Impressions: Camellias and Hibiscus in Bloom* and *Winter Impressions: Flowers—Carnations, Camellias, and Roses*; the oil-and-watercolor series *The Camellias Have Bloomed Again This Winter*; and *Winter Lake Scene*, among others.
