Esraf Armagen was born blind, but has been painting since he was a child. Born into a poor family, he has no formal education and is completely self-taught. His paintings are good, but will probably never hang in the Met. That's not the point, is it? He pursues what he loves, what makes his soul sing. And he doesn't take "I can't see" as an acceptable obstacle to his passion.
