Hong Yong-Xin, Taiwanese

Hong Yung-Hsin (b. 1993, New Taipei City, Taiwan) graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University and later earned a master’s degree from the Department of Painting and Calligraphy Arts at National Taiwan University of Arts. Integrating mineral pigments with elements of classical art, her works reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and animals. Using a fable-inspired approach, she revisits childhood connections with nature, drawing from ancient murals and folk art to depict animals as cultural symbols.

Favoring mineral pigments and greige fabric, she employs grinding and washing techniques to evoke the aged texture of murals. Influenced by ancient sculptures and miniature paintings, her works explore layered perceptions, offering a reflection on human nature.
