Liu Wei-tsen holds a master's degree in fine arts from Tokyo University and is renowned for his nature-themed oil paintings that deftly capture the dramatic interplay between light and his subjects. Employing a distinct artistic technique, he transforms shadows into potent impressions, creating rich dimensions that engage the viewer's senses. Liu's signature indigo shadows—textured with skill and subtly shifting—spread across the canvases, resembling serene lakes and seas. Amid these, blooming flowers and meandering vines come to life, enticing viewers to delve further into the artist's intricate strokes and immerse themselves in his profound message. Liu’s mastery lies in elevating the mundane into works of art, breathing grace and joy into often overlooked moments. This contemplative approach to his craft has earned him acclaim through successful exhibitions in Taiwan, Japan, and beyond. Esteemed Asian art institutions have eagerly sought to include Liu’s works in their collections, cementing his status as an exceptional artist in contemporary art. As Liu draws his audience into a heightened state of contemplation and art appreciation, shadows cease to be lifeless entities and instead, spring to life with light, color, and dynamic forms.
