Step into the visual meditations of Lisbon-based photographer Ma Haiquan. Through poetic compositions of light and shadow, the artist captures the fleeting silhouettes of subway passengers, solitary figures at street corners, and the delicate balance between motion and stillness.

Born in Beijing and residing in Lisbon since 2015, Ma Haiquan’s work transcends geographical boundaries. Blurred commuters in transit engage in silent dialogue with crystalline stillness, reflecting the migrant experience of navigating cultural thresholds. As restrained Eastern composition meets the lyrical expression of Western urban landscapes, these images embody AOMO Gallery’s core philosophy: Art Without Borders.

Through his photography, Ma Haiquan examines how displacement reshapes visual storytelling, encouraging young audiences to reinterpret identity through experimental imagery.
