After resigning from his teaching position in 1981, Liu Gengyi embarked on the path of a full-time artist. In the early stages, his work primarily focused on the sentiments of home, portraying the emotions he couldn't express in words or language towards his beloved wife, family, and homeland. Around 1990, Taiwan faced the societal changes post-martial law, during which he transitioned from a calm observer to a creator with a sense of social responsibility. He created a series of artworks depicting social scenes to express his ideas and emotions. Starting from 1998, he spent over a decade shuttling between New Zealand and Taiwan, leading a life split between two countries with his wife. The diverse social cultures and natural environments expanded his experiential scope, providing fertile ground for his creativity. This period resembled a return to youth, marking another developmental phase in his life where his creations delved into deeper emotional expressions and explored spiritual needs. Upon recently resettling in southern Taiwan, he once again seeks artistic inspiration from the wilderness of nature.
