With the concept of developing a sustainable world, eco-art is a new artform that being introduced in the artistic community which combines philosophical thinking and aesthetics expression. Since there is less relevant research on the way of expression of eco-art in Hong Kong, therefore the researcher is interested to understand the considerations of local eco-artists during their creation processes, as well as explore the potential way of expression of eco-art in Hong Kong context through art creations.Qualitative research is used to understand the factors that affected the way of expression of local eco-artists. Through purposive sampling, the researcher conducts interviews with two local eco-artists in Hong Kong, the result of the findings show that creations of local eco-artists were theme-oriented and assisted by the material and form. Art-based inquiry is also used to explore potential way of expression of eco-art in Hong Kong, the researcher bases on the interview findings and further develops the way of expression of eco-art in Hong Kong context through art creations. It is hoped that this research can act as a foundation for the mass to understand the features of eco-art and further explore the possibilities in this field
