Kamwei Fong (previously) is drawn to the nature of cats. Whether extroverted and playful or curious and timid, the clawed companions truly relish living their lives as they please, embodying a charming spirit that inspires the artist time and again.

Appreciative of the calm that follows working in solitude, Fong has often prioritized creative autonomy and introspection. Slowly but surely creating each piece by cross-hatching in ink, he undertakes a process “akin to meditation…As I work on the drawings, meticulously adding fur one stroke at a time, I often feel like I’m the only person in the world. It’s a calming and therapeutic experience.”

Minimalism is a cornerstone of Fong’s drawings. Occasionally omitting certain features like mouths, noses, and whiskers, the essence of a cat is still articulated without confounding the composition. “I aim to convey an important message,” Fong shares. “As humans, we often complicate our lives unnecessarily with various ties and complexities.”

For more fine-tuned felines, follow Fong on Instagram and Cara.
