Briton Stephen Wiltshire is quite an unusual person with autism, but at the same time he is just a brilliant artist, with a phenomenal memory that helps him to reproduce on canvas the pictures he has taken away to the smallest detail.
Some of us cannot even remember which street we are on. And if we do know where we are, then can we describe in detail the place where we have just been, or which we have just seen? But the talented British artist Stephen Wiltshire only needs one glance at the city or landscape spread out before his eyes, and he will reproduce it on canvas, not forgetting even the smallest details.
It took him 30 minutes of a helicopter flight over Tokyo to memorize its silhouette and draw from memory a picture of the city ten meters long. Amazing! The artist's unusual abilities cannot but admire. But some attribute the special gift of the "camera man" to autism.
In recent years, Stephen Wiltshire has begun painting color paintings, two striking examples in his collection are the landscape of London at night and Times Square in New York.
The silhouette of the city of London was priced at £ 12,500.
