Artist Yosifu hails from an aboriginal village on the east coast of Taiwan. Once a victim of a severe disconnection from his own identity and heritage, he nowadays stands as a passionate advocate for the art and culture of his home land. An internationally acclaimed and award-winning artist, he has dedicated the last two decades to showcasing the splendours of Taiwan through his artwork.
Yosifu shares how he became interested in art and then transitioned into a professional artist. One of the main themes of his work is to take people on a tour of his native land, Taiwan, so he takes host Si Willmore to the destinations that feature in and have inspired his art.
