Taiwan is a land of contrasts: bustling markets, ancient temples, and vibrant cities blend with extraordinary nature :from towering mountains rising close to 4,000 meters to coastal coral reefs where sea turtles swim. The east coast lies close to Taroko National Park, with its high marble gorges and deep blue Pacific ocean waters… it’s only missing dinosaurs and we could say “Welcome to Jurassik Parc”.
This experience combines authentic daily life, landscapes, and Taiwanese culture under the guidance of professional artist Paul WANG.
Operated by Curious Taiwan, a high-end travel agency based in Taiwan, and accompanied by Charles-Antoine CANCEDDA, a polished sketcher in Taiwan, to facilitate interactions with locals, optimize the itinerary, and take you beyond the usual tourist routes.
Paul Wang is a leading artist from Singapore and a pioneer of urban sketching there. Known internationally as a generous teacher and mentor (featured at sketching events and symposiums worldwide), Paul brings an adventurous spirit to every session : always curious, always experimenting, helping sketchers step out of their comfort zone to capture the essence of a scene. His work is recognized for its lively energy, bold color, and deeply sensory storytelling.
Charles-Antoine Canceda lives in Taipei and will co-host and coordinate the retreat on the ground. A long-time member of the Urban Sketchers community, first in Montreal and now in Taipei, he’s passionate about creating smooth, inspiring travel experiences where the group can focus on drawing, discovery, and the joy of being on location.
