Artist statement

Hermia Wong graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) with Distinction from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University, Australia (joint degree with Hong Kong Art School) in 2021. She is a Hong Kong based artist specializing in oil paintings, drawing and objects that allow her to explore the relationship between people and the environment.

Hermia’s works are inspired by the environment and the mode of living. “Painting is a subjective way of seeing. From my perspective and imagination, scenery depiction is my expression of emotion and it is a choice of interpretation, composition and colours. Through my personal styles and imaginations, I explore the aesthetics of subtle reflection of reality.” 

She is the recipient of the “Best of Show” with cash award in the “Landscapes” by Colors of Humanity Art Gallery, USA (2021). She was also awarded the “Talent Prize Award” with cash award in “Color International Juried Art Competition” by Teravarna Art Gallery, USA (2023).

Hermia has exhibited her art in several galleries and fairs. Recent exhibitions include Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong (2024), Hotel Art Fair in Bangkok (2024), “Day and Night” by A Gallery (2024), “An Evening with Arts” by American Club Foundation at American Club HK (2024), Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong (2023), “The Collectible Art Fair” by Hong Kong Art School at Hong Kong Arts Centre (2023), “Pockets” by HKARTS at Centre Point (2023), “This place we call home” by HKARTS at W Hong Kong Hotel (2023).
Hermia’s artworks are collected by overseas and local celebrity including Oscars nominee Kenneth Yee Chung Man (奚仲文)
