The paintings you see in this post might seem not be worth. The thing can
make us look more closely at them is the story of the artist who brought
them to life. <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>

What makes them special is that this person is…
*blind.*<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>

He was not blind from the birth. He lost his sight during a digging
operation in the forests of Ukraine, where they tried to find remains of
Russian soldiers who are considered to be missing since the World War 2. He
got blew up on the 50 year old German Nazi land mine and since then he
couldn’t see with the both of his eyes.<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>

Before this accident he had already some recognition among the local artist
community and his works didn’t look like those later
ones.<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>

Then when he lost sight he lost everything. He became a disabled person whom
nobody needed or cared about. He was in deep depression, and once he has got
a call from his old friend, who tried to support the artist and offered to
conduct an public exhibition of his old works. Of course he agreed. Then
they had some time before the exhibition and *Dmitri* - that is the name of
our hero - decided to try to draw something again to present at the ongoing
exhibition, to show the world that he is still an artist, even with a
missing sight. He called it “Even the longest way starts with a tiny
step.”At first he couldn’t draw anything that reminded the sane painting.
But after hours of practice and persistence he managed to give a birth to
his first painting of his new life. Now there are 250 new works, created
after the accident in which he lost his sight, and some of them are highly
recognized by critics and were bought for private collections of Russian and
foreign art lover <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>

*Dmitri, the blind artist.* <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>

“When I see the works of Dmitri, I became ashamed of ourselves, how often do
we complain, how often we say that life is not fair with us, and still we
can see the world around us. But Dmitri can’t, and still he doesn’t
complain, he works. Every his painting is a piece of the world he knew, he
knows and he would know. We, professionals from art, don’t care that he
can’t see - he still remains a professional artist for us. Of course, his
style has been changed, but still he is a good colorist and stylist and we
don’t make any discounts on his wound, when saying this.”, says Valentina
Myzgina, the chief manager of *Kharkov Art
Museum.*<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
