Born in 1973, Ivy Ma lives and works in Hong Kong. She is a visual artist specializing in mixed-media works and a lecturer at the Hong Kong Art School.

Ivy Ma’s works are a philosophical reflection on nature and history. She works her way through history by looking, collecting, drawing and thinking. The objects she collects, the images she selects, and the occasional photographs and videos she produces all strike a similar chord, one that is at uncanny, disturbing and beautiful.

Since 2010, she began focusing on images - both stills taken from specific films and photographs found in history museums - for an ongoing series of what she calls 'drawing-interventions' where she actively erases and draws into and over the existing image.
