An outdoor painter, Peter Liew captures the beauty of nature through his thick impasto technique. As a nature lover he effectively illustrates the tranquil nature and steady rhythm of the river flows. There’s a famous saying that goes ‘time spent with nature is never wasted’.
Peter Liew was educated at the Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA, 1976-1979, Best Student 1978), where he taught from 1981 to 1994. His other works revolve around old architectural heritage sites, quaysides and recently, landscape portraits. He has several solos since his first at Art House Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, in 1981, including in Art Expo Malaysia and a solo in Skopje, Macedonia, in 2002, after being invited to the art colony in Debrca, Belchrista and Macedonia in 2000. His recent solos were held at National Art Gallery Malaysia and Wisma Kebudayaan Soka Gakkai Malaysia.
