A Remarkable Blind Artist

I saw this video a few months ago and thought I would share it on the blog. It's a remarkable story of a Turkish man, Esref Armagan, who was born with anophthalmia. He always knew he was an artist at heart and has created some beautiful paintings.

The really interesting thing about his story is that he is very good at creating perspective and depth in his paintings, which neurologists have always thought were concepts dependent on sight. I suppose it's time to rethink that theory!
