Hilarie HON (b.1994, Hong Kong) graduated with a BA (Hons) in Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2016. Specializing in oil painting, she approaches her work with deep personal introspection. Her paintings often depict intense and surreally unsettling scenes, reflecting her inner world while evoking emotions and a profound sense of alienation.  Her solo exhibitions include ‘Sunlight Murmur’(2023), ‘Yesterday's Brightness’ (2020), ‘The Daily Disappearance of the Sun’ (2018), etc. Recent group exhibitions includes 

‘The Rule of Three, otherthings’ (The Shophouse, 2025),'Art Brussels’(2025), , ‘31 Women Artists Hong Kong I’ (10 Chancery Lane), ‘Art Collaboration Kyoto 2021’ (Gallery EXIT / Satoko Oe Contemporary, Japan, 2021)and ‘Stories We Tell To Scare Ourselves With’ (MOCA Taipei, Taiwan, 2019).
