I’m Szu-ling Liu from Taiwan, Taipei.

I’m a motivated , ambitious and perseverance self-taught visual artist working across design, photography and art. Artworks from photography, graphics, motions, paintings, and still explore various possibilities. I’m also a pharmacist at community pharmacy.

I graduated both from National Taiwan University (2010) in Pharmacy and National Taiwan University of Arts (2016) in Visual Communication.

Experimentality and abstract avant-garde are two major characteristics of my works.

In less than a year, I was soon selected to the Tokyo International Art Fair and won golden winner in The Paris Photography Prize (PX3). 

My works has won numerous of international awards such as Adobe Design Achievement Competition, International Design Awards, Fine Art Photography Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards, Moscow International Foto Awards, International Photography Awards and London International Creative Competition, etc.

My works explores the relationship between self and digital technology, reality and abstract.  I work with a wide variety of mediums including photography, graphics, motions and paintings. It can either return to the pure essence or explore the aesthetic boundaries between realities and illusions under the digital age.  

Mostly my photography works emerge from intense observations of everyday life.
I take photography as a way to express between poetry and painting.
“ Visual Illusions ” is a series of aesthetics from everyday observations. Through the reorganization of the arrangement to enhance the feelings of pure beauty, from the nature of objects to the spaces, forming a series of beautiful illusions.

Due to my dual status of a pharmacist and an artist.
I also concern about drug problems and social issues. “ Stilnox 200 “ is the work of using 200 stilnox empty boxes as canvases to paint the observed phenomena and emotions. It could be the symbol of modern civilized illness and also arouses the awareness of understanding sleeping pills.
