Inspirational - Artist Stephen Wiltshire

Here is an amazing guy who doesn't let his personal challenges stop him.


Often referred to as “The Living Camera” Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes from memory. Stephen is autistic and he did not speak his first words "pencil" and "paper" until he was 5. Yet, when he was 11 he drew a perfect aerial view of London after only one helicopter ride. Stephen has an amazing ability where he can briefly view panoramas and then recreate these including drawing the most intricate details. This is truly an inspirational video to watch.



This is an excerpt from the film Beautiful Minds: A Voyage into the Brain, where Stephen takes a helicopter journey over
Rome and then draws a panoramic view of what he saw, completely from memory.
