Thought behind the Thought
We are perpetually at war with ourselves. And we undermine our abilities, use our disabilities as excuses even, to justify giving up mid way!
We cannot and must not give up on ourselves, ever. In fact, that is the easiest and the most defeatist thing that we could do. Fighting on is the only respectable option, not just with the situation that is so bothering us, but with the inner weaknesses that we all have.
Just like these physically challenged artists who maybe disabled in the body, but not in spirit.
About the Artists
Members of the Indian Mouth and Foot painting Artists' association, they produce amazing art, without using their hands!
Formed in 1956, the MFPA is an international, for-profit association wholly owned and run by disabled artists to help them meet their financial needs. Members paint with brushes held in their mouth or feet as a result of a disability sustained at birth or through an accident or illness that prohibits them from using their hands.
Over the last 50 years, MFPA has brought to the forefront, the aesthetic creations of these disabled artists by providing them a platform to express their artistic talent. Instilling a sense of freedom and dignity, the Association offers its members an opportunity to earn an independent, honest and secure livelihood through the sale of their artwork.
