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.
Amazing, a true artist. Thanks for sharing him with us!
ReplyDeleteAm speechless! God bless him. I would love to have one of his paintings.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it incredible? Our human brains have been created with such possibilities. An enlightening post.
ReplyDeleteHubs and I are heading to the States this morning for a weekend away together. See you next week.
