BIOGRAPHY Hilarie HON Born in 1994, Hong Kong Currently based in Hong Kong, Hilarie HON is an emerging visual artist who mainly works with oil painting. Hon paints with a deeply personal approach, which depicts intense, surreally unsettling scenes with bold, contrasting colours and cartoonish characters.
