Amazing paintings of a blind artist NEW YORK: The story of this blind artist is extraordinary and unbelievable.

Professional CPA with a photographic memory, Lisa Fittipaldi, lost her vision due to a vascular disease in 1993.

She lost her job too, but overcame blindness and began painting in 1995. Her paintings are so colorful and bright; it’s hard to believe that they were drawn by a blind person who can’t even see colors or distance.

The main challenge to Lisa was when she was told she could never create complex scenes of everyday life with people as main characters.

But she managed to do so, and today her paintings are exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Fittipaldi is a unique artist with an amazing inner vision.
