Several Professor Mas compositions were highly inspired from the concepts and techniques of painting. Professor Ma believed that all the arts, although they present differently on the usages of materials or techniques, the essence and highest acheivement of all arts must be the same, including both music and painting.

and reality". The composer attempted to transform the philosophy that
derive from the "virtuality-reality" relationship into the composition,
presented it as the contrast between time and space, the alternation of texture
and density, or, the changing of emptiness and fullness, etc., in order to
establish an artistic atmosphere of musical painting.
