Liew Nian-Hin was born in 1967 in Malaysia, developing a deep appreciation for art and culture rooted in the rich traditions of Chinese aesthetics from an early age. He immersed himself in the study of classical Chinese painting and calligraphy, building a strong foundation that would later shape his distinctive artistic voice. In 1987, he moved to Taiwan, where he pursued his formal education at the National Taiwan Normal University, studying in the Department of Fine Arts and later the Graduate Institute of Western Painting. His education emphasized both Eastern and Western techniques, enabling him to bridge traditions with contemporary expression, and he has since settled long-term in New Taipei City. This dual influence became central to his creative identity, allowing him to develop a unique visual language that blends oil painting with the spirit and structure of calligraphy.
