Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Charlotte Siu

Charlotte Siu, @lotte_siu

Nature lover Charlotte works in a range of different mediums, from acrylic to enamel pins. While the self-taught artist does beautiful black-and-white sketches, what stands out are her colourful pet portraits. Lovingly painted in pretty pastel shades of gouache, her portraits seem to bring the furry friends and their personalities to life.

Art commissions price: $300 for a postcard-sized portrait – request commissions via Instagram or email


Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Laura Pezza

Laura Pezza, @thequietplaceart

Laura is another artist who loves animals, but what we were most drawn to are her sketches of urban landscapes. Placing her black and white sketches against the backdrop of a galactic watercolour sky, the illustrations could be a dreamy new addition to your work desk. Whether you want a drawing done of a part of the city that is special to you, a favourite tourist spot that you visited on holiday, or your beloved family home, Laura’s illustrations will deliver.

Art commissions price: From $900 per illustration – request commissions via Instagram or email


Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Ellen Ng

Ellen Ng, @en.simple.art

Ellen is a Hong Kong illustrator and graphic designer who specialises in botanical illustrations. The artist’s Instagram feed is overflowing with gorgeous watercolour flowers. We find her soft roses and delicate cherry blossoms rather calming and the blend of pink tones she uses would suit anyone looking to add a feminine touch to their flat. Request a friend’s birth flower for a thoughtful personalised present.

Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Spacey Ho

Spacey Ho, @spaceyillustration

You can find the work of illustrator and book designer Spacey Ho in a number of publications across Hong Kong. Though she mainly specialises in cartoony kid-lit art, she also accepts commissions for those interested in her more sophisticated illustrations. Yogis and gym goers will love her yoga series which combines your favourite pose and spirit animal. She also does super sweet family portraits that would make for a lovely gift.

Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Joy Lee

Joy Lee, @thejoylee

We had to give a special mention to Sassy’s talented designer, Joy, who in her spare time creates dynamic ink calligraphy art and vibrant abstract paintings. She can do beautiful hand-lettering for invites, or inscribe your favourite quote or life mantra in bold strokes for you to display on your living room mantle or bedroom wall. Wanting her art to be accessible to people of all economic backgrounds, Joy is happy to work out a bespoke price that is suitable for you.

Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Ophelia Jacarini

Ophelia Jacarini, @merakilya

Fashionistas will fawn over this artist’s stylish sketches. Hong Kong-based French artist Ophelia of Merakilya has created a range of illustrations for people and companies all over the globe but we were particularly enamoured by her elegant fashion illustrations with splashes of soft watercolour. Request a full-body portrait of yourself (or a friend) in your fiercest outfit to prop up on your vanity for the ultimate OOTD inspo. Ophelia also offers to do live paintings for events.

Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Gar Lai Lau

Gar Lai Lau, @garlailau

Anyone interested in architecture would love Gar Lai’s ink sketches. From ancient pagodas to modern skyscrapers, this artist travels the world and captures scenes and buildings that catch her eye with incredible detail. It goes without saying that we love her sketches of the Hong Kong skyline and iconic buildings such as The Lippo Centre and Bank of China Tower. Many of her sketches are embellished with gold accents which add a nice, elegant touch.

Hong Kong Artists On Instagram Art Commissions: Hyatt Arts

Hyatt, @hyatt.arts

Inspired by her adventures abroad and the city she lives in, Hyatt’s artwork takes us to white sand beaches and tropical jungles and back to reality with her all-too-relatable comedic commentaries on everyday life in Hong Kong. Request an acrylic illustration of your favourite getaway, or a couple’s portrait of you and your beloved in gouache.
