While @lucyliu has kept her professional life and her private life separate, here is an intimate side of Liu that she does share with the world: her artwork. “It’s something I’ve always done as a way to express myself,” she says of her visual art, through which she experiments with painting, silkscreening, sculpture, textiles and installations. “When I was younger, I was very shy, so it was an emotional outlet.” When a friend of Liu’s saw her work, he suggested she show it publicly. That was the first time she realized that her art could be shared. “I didn’t really do it for anyone else but myself at the time,” says Liu. Since then, she has had numerous shows, including one at the @natmuseum_sg, and considers her practice a constant creative outlet in her life.
