Esref Armagan (Ankara, Turkey, 1953) is blind from birth, which has not prevented him develop his career as a painter. Coming from a poor family has received no arts education, despite which he taught himself to write and draw. Their method uses first a punch to mark an outline braille and then apply oil colors by hand. As used only one color at a time, is forced to wait two or three days to dry to apply another. This form of painting is unique Armagan.
