Born in 1971 in Hong Kong, Cheng Chi-fai is an accomplished oil painter focusing on local landscape and city scene. Educated at the Coventry University in England, Cheng received classical training in painting and drawing.

Cheng's works demonstrate strong commitment to Renaissance's perspective, chiaroscuro and composition but maintain faithfully local in terms of the subject depicted. Both nostalgic and poetic, Cheng's old streets and neighbourhoods bring back memories of the golden age.
