張梓鈞 Tzu-Chun Chang
Chun is a Taiwanese illustrator and picturebook maker with an MA in Children’s book illustration from Cambridge School of Art and a BA in Motion picture from Taiwan University of Arts.
Her work is sensitive and tranquil, mainly focused on relationships and socio-political issues. She enjoys playing with metaphors and leaving space for people to interpret. She loves film, philosophy as well as nature and would love to do more book / editorial illustrations. Her aim is to capture the magic in the mundane and to tell stories about difficult subjects in an approachable way.
Her debut author-illustrator picturebook Today is the Day, published in Taiwan in 2021, is selected for 2022 Bologna Ragazzi Award The BRAW Amazing Bookshelf.
畢業於臺藝大電影系及劍橋藝術學院童書插畫研究所，出生台中的自由插畫工作者、繪本創作者、講師。
喜歡電影、哲學、大自然。創作題材多圍繞在平凡日常裡人與他者的關係，善於在畫面中創造時間感與敘事性，為觀者留下想像的空間。
作品散見於國內外刊物，獲得波隆那兒童觀眾賽、美國3×3獎、英國麥克米倫獎、中國金風車國際青年插畫家等國際獎項肯定。首部繪本《今天Today is the day》獲選為2022波隆那拉加茲獎的一百本好書。
