Eşref Armağan (born 1953) is a blind painter of Turkish origin. Born without sight to an impoverished family, he taught himself to write and print. He has painted using oil paints for roughly thirty-five years. Using a braille stylus to etch the outline of his drawing, Armağan requires total silence to create art. Oil paint is then applied with his fingers and left to dry fully before a new color is applied. This unique method is used so that colors do not smudge. The art pieces themselves are created without help from any individual. He is also able to create art that has visual perspective. Below are some of his paintings: ![]() ![]() ![]() Check out his website for more info. How he paints. Scientists' take on his unique ability and a PDF with more paintings. |

I was in an argument with somebody when he mentioned a blind locksmith. I was skeptical because I felt locksmith needed sight to see the fine details which their work required. Teetor did it by touch. Even though I've come across, blind drivers, blind inventors (like Ralph Teetor - the inventor of cruise control) and blind musicians (e.g Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles & Cobhams) I was quite surprised to see a blind painter. As far as I'm concerned this seals it for the rationalists who claimed knowledge was by reason, intuition or imagination. How u wan paint color u no see ? Mountain or fish u never see ? Then the color make sense on top. For instance trees are green and ocean is blue. |

Mysteries. Genius. Extraordinary abilities. We as humans underestimate our capacities. The things we can do if we aren't distract from the seeming realities of our environment can be outstanding. |
