Peruvian artist Cecilia Paredes takes anonymity to a whole new level-by painting herself into the background.
She cleverly matches the background patterns and paints them onto her canvas naked body in order to “blend in”, although she purposefully retains part of her human form, like her hair and the edge of her silhouette, as if to say “No matter how hard I try, I will never fully fit in”. What do these works say to you?

Esref Armagan was born blind to an impoverished Turkish family.
First, using a Braille stylus, he etches an outline of his drawing… When he is satisfied with his drawing, he starts to apply the oils with his fingers. Because he applies only one color at a time (the colors would smear otherwise), he must wait two or three days for the color to dry before applying the next color
His work has been displayed at dozens of exhibitions in Turkey and in Europe. A gallery of his work (non-flash version).
Previously on Neatorama: The Blind Painter (a different one).
