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. You can see some of his creations at instagram.com/yosifuart.

In the JRNY Podcast, Si Willmore talks with pioneers, trailblazers and thought leaders, who are pushing the envelope in the travel industry. Season 5 is sponsored by the Taiwan Tourism Administration.
