Born in 1942 in Changhua City, Taiwan, and start to learn glue-pigment painting in 1959. Engaged in creation of glue-pigment painting for more than 50 years and learned from Professor Lin, Chih-Chu, the father of Taiwan glue-pigment painting, and was inspired and deeply influenced by the Professor. Besides creation, he also became a key assistant of Professor Lin to promote glue-pigment paintings. To facilitate steady development of glue-pigment painting in Taiwan, he participated in establshing Taiwan Glue-pigment Painting Association. In 1981, he established Taiwan Glue-pigment Painting Association that initiated by Lin Yu-shan, Chen Jin, and Lin, Chih-Chu and acted as a liaison and secretary general of the association. Every year, the association will hold joint exhibition to promote glue-pigment painting and enhance the creative population. Zeng, De-Biao combined traditional techniques of ancient Chinese using glue to paint colorful painting, such as golden-green-landscape painting of Tang Dynasty and royal court painting style of Song Dynasty, with modern artistic thoughts to present spirit of eastern and particularity of the time. In his early time, he used earthy yellow with coffee brown in his glue-pigment paintings, which brought a strong soil vision to the painting. Now he's good at using blue and green to control the picture, interpreting a harmonious relationship between man and the nature though calm, elegant, and quite images with peaceful and pleasing idyllic scenery and poetic pulse of nature expressed by flowers and birds.
