Vári Szilvia

From birth Szilvia Vári suffers from arthrogryposis and, because of the progression of the disease, is no longer able to use her limbs. In 1978, while she was still a child, she tried to paint with her mouth. Mouth painting, initially a pastime, soon became one of the artist's greatest hobbies, and as she was a self-taught artist, she perfected her painting technique and thus also her paintings. In 1981 she won a silver medal in a children's painting contest in Japan. The artist paints a great variety of themes, from floral themes to landscapes.
