Maísa Chaves
Illustrator
After completing her degree in Fine Arts in South Africa, she returned to work in Mozambique for the next 11 years as an illustrator in the advertising business. Besides working intensely in this world of clients and demand, she also pursues projects where she expresses herself as a part-time painter and muralist. For an artist who grew up in Mozambique in the ’90s, the world of comic books, however limited in this place and time, was among many one of the most important and influential cornerstones in her journey as the artist and person she is today.
