Maf Cheung

BIOGRAPHY

Born, lives and works in Hong Kong
Former committee member of the Hong Kong Society of Illustrators

Maf has had a passion for drawing since childhood, using art to express her emotions and forming a deep bond with animals. Her best friend during her early years was a pet bird cared for by her father. Initially, she focused on pen illustrations, but later transitioned to digital art and visual design, enhancing the expressiveness of her work through color and graphics. You can see elements of traditional Asian art in her early pieces. With a background in visual design and animation, she spent a long time exploring until she found the perfect blend of animal knowledge and local Hong Kong culture, leading to the creation of the 'Hong Kong Giant Animal Series' in 2022.

Maf's work has been selected multiple times for the Asian Illustration Annual Awards and has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Malaysia. She has participated in various projects with organizations like the Hong Kong Illustrators Association, Greenpeace, Warner Bros, Wacom, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Link REIT, showcasing her illustrations and animations across multiple districts in Hong Kong. Additionally, she collaborated with a Japanese winery to launch a Junmai Daiginjo sake and has released limited edition Graphic Tees and Hoodies in partnership with Ginger Store, available in several local stores and airport shops. Since the launch of the 'Hong Kong Giant Animal Series,' her first personal art book was published by CUP Media in 2023, sparking a trend for giant animals and leading to the creation of large murals in various locations in Hong Kong.

Currently, Maf is actively engaged in her artistic creations, expanding her giant animal-themed works from Hong Kong to Japan. She was selected for the prestigious '91st Toko Exhibition' in Japan, marking her first recognition in the Japanese art scene and providing her with great encouragement. She is now focused on preparing for her first solo exhibition.
