Nov 13, 2008 - I can't stand scientist and doctors and professors. They think that everything is psychical laws an mechanics and chemical reactions. They completely deny the existence of the human soul.

reillz86 Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - Someone told him which paint corresponds to which color and he memorized it.

daversss Says:

Nov 14, 2008 - That's why they are scientists, doctors and professors and we give them their due respect.

Nov 19, 2008 - Perspective is at this stage a well known formula anyone can learn. Felt or seen from the front, sides and tops of buildings are straight lines. The sides moving away from you go up at the bottom and down at the top. The sea and sky are blue, plants are green etc etc. Paint bottles can be labelled in braille or be of different sizes etc for easy recognition once named.

prussian66 Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - If you can feel an object you can draw it remembering the formula and if you cant you can draw the symbol for a boat etc etc. Lots of blind people paint or draw the question is why?

kastrato90 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - how the hell does he know about colours or light or shading or perspective? omg! this guy is one with the universe

hoodoo961 Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Holy shit, holy shit! How is this possible!

prussian66 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - All this new age reaction is so patronising. For goodness sake. Google - Blind Art - Blind Painters - Blind sculptors. Degas,Monet, Mary Cassattetc etc were or went blind.

logopants Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - i've heard of people who draw with their eyes closed, which makes sense cus it helps you to see the image in your mind..... but when you've never seen anything at all before, thats something elseAnd how does he know what color whatever he's painting is? Or which paint to use?

SnAkEsIdOl Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - Why would this make scientists think about how we see things?, he admits that he feels objects and then knows how to draw them.

bluexmoonxmusic Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - wow, unbelieveable...that is truly amazing. how can he see those colors and images without even knowing what they look like in the first place? that, right there, is truly remarkable.

thestar13 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - because it also has to do with perception of light, color, and shading which he cannot feel

warrock37 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - i dont no if you took an art clase but scientist find it wierd how he understands light witch he had not seen and how an object looks from far when he can not see it and how things must be shaped in order to be solid and how thing look depending on how things react whene he can not see and also how he understand color and witch colours to use witch again he cant not see

warrock37 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - what i find wierd and cool is how he dosent draw over his pic with another pic and how all his lines are in the right area

Knowth66 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - You just have to be told the sky is blue then you find the blue bottle of paint. The bottle can have any mark that can be felt to distinguish it. Clouds are white and fluffy so you dip your finger in white paint and dab. He does not have to understand light or see into the distance.If a blind person can hear they are told what the world looks like what colours things are, its a mental not a visual understanding.

warrock37 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - i agree for some of the things but you cant understand what fluffy is if you cant see it same with light and if you dident pay mutch atention to the vid it said that his brain doesent react the same that ares u cant understand evrething by someone telling you most things u must see to understand and he can sherly understand evrything dident you ever read the book the giver that could explain alot and so can the book the nothing

Knowth66 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - We are only learning about sight and perception we dont have anything like a full understanding of it and it appears the sight area of the brain is also activated by other perceptual triggers. Sight and touch are perceptually connected. Clouds arent fluffy we just say they are. Children including blind children are taught to dab their fingers in paint to make fluffy clouds. Esref says he wants us to forget he is blind and look at his paintings for what they are.
