Esref Armagan - The Artist With No Eyes

Born unsighted and to an impoverished Turkish family, Esref Armagan never received any formal schooling or training. He has never seen light and imagines shapes he already felt. This amazingly gifted man has made history by demonstrating that for the first time, a blind person can develope his/her own pictorial skills the equal of most depiction by the sighted.
