Hats off for such a man with strong will power...
 Huang Guofu lost his arms in terrible electric shock accident, at the
tender age of four, but that didn’t stop him from following his dreams,
and at age 12 he began painting with his feet. The talented artist
remembers that in the beginning, his artworks didn’t look at all like
what he intended to paint, but as the years went by his skills improved
considerably. Huang quit his studies when he was 18, as his father was
very ill and he needed to make money for his treatments. He started
travelling to other Chinese cities, creating beautiful paintings on the
side of streets and selling them to passers-by. It was during his art travels that he began using his mouth to paint,
after hearing some comments that painting with one’s leg isn’t very
elegant. He put a brush in his mouth and started painting. During a trip
to a city in China’s Sichuan Province, Huang Guofu met Hu Guoui, a
woman who quickly fell in love with his strong will and artistic
talents, and the two got married in 2000. Since then, she has become his
assistant, carrying his canvas and tools, whenever he needs to paint a
scene on location. Huang Guofu has been named vice-curator of the newly established
Chongqing Talents Museum, for his artistic achievements and powerful
spirit. Since then, many more mouth-and-foot painters have joined the
museum. The artist believes that “when life closes one door to you, it
must have opened another at the same time” and declares he is happy and
content with what God has given him. |
