Roses bloom on the pages of time—The “Huang Teng-Hui × Tunghai University 2026 Collector’s Calendar” features artist Huang Teng-Hui’s The Little Prince’s Rose, painted for Tunghai University’s Rose Garden. It condenses love and dreams into poetic imagery that transcends time, earning the reputation as “the most beautiful calendar of 2026.”

Huang Teng-hui × Tunghai University 2026 Collector’s Calendar features The Little Prince’s Rose, a painting created by artist Huang Teng-Hui for the Tunghai Rose Garden.
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of its founding, Tunghai University collaborated with distinguished alumnus and contemporary artist Huang Teng-Hui to release this collector’s calendar. The paintings include thirty representative works selected from his sixty-year artistic journey, and twelve poets were invited to write dedicated chapters. The interwoven poems and artworks create an artistic dialogue across time as readers flip through the pages.

To celebrate its 70th anniversary, Tunghai University collaborated with distinguished alumnus and contemporary artist Huang Teng-Hui to publish this collector’s calendar.
Huang Teng-Hui is known for his floral and rose imagery, merging Eastern cultural depth with contemporary style to form poetic landscapes. His works have appeared on VISA and JCB international credit cards and have been used in designs for the British royal family’s porcelain, including commemorative wedding china for Prince William. This calendar specially includes his representative masterpiece The Little Prince’s Rose, symbolizing the interweaving of love and dreams, making it the most eye-catching highlight.
The calendar also includes two significant articles: former president of the National Taiwan University of Arts Huang Kuang-Nan analyzes Huang’s practice of “life as art” in Seeking Form Through Appearance: Huang Teng-Hui’s Aesthetic Realm, praising his works for integrating “the origin of creation and pure aesthetics of the present moment, manifested in images blended with nature, human intention, and contemplation. Philosophical reflections can be seen within the blooming flowers.” Writer Chou Fen-Ling, in Creating a Rose Garden with the Beauty of Pure Love, writes about the “philosophy of roses” and their spiritual significance through literary expression. Former director of the National Museum of History Liao Hsin-Tien comments: “Huang Teng-Hui’s roses, from the figurative to the symbolic to the abstract, ultimately pursue not only surface beauty that pleases the eye but, through ever-changing artistic forms, lead viewers into the spiritual world of art.” The interweaving of poetry, painting, and commentary makes this calendar more than a daily-use object—it becomes a collectible volume carrying artistic spirit.
In recent years, Huang Teng-Hui has personally created a physical rose garden by Tunghai University’s Swan Lake as a gift for the university’s 70th anniversary, extending the romance of his canvas into the campus landscape and integrating art into everyday life. Dean Hsu Ho-Chieh of Tunghai University’s College of Creative Arts notes: “The realm of aesthetics that Huang Teng-Hui experiences in his painting expresses a purely independent style that unites nature, reality, and idealism.” Former director of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts Liao Jen-I further praises: “Huang Teng-Hui’s vibrant poetic world is a rose garden without walls. He is like the Little Prince in Saint-Exupéry’s story, quietly waiting for us to step in and share his dreams.”

Huang Teng-Hui’s Blooming Rose of Time — the most romantic calendar of 2026 makes its debut.
