This happened in 1993.That the moment Lisa Fittipaldi worked as a financial analyst.Odnady morning, driving a car, Lisa suddenly realized he did not see the signs and passing by other vehicles.Six months of tests, the conclusions of the medical fuss, surgery and ... starshno verdict - the eternal blindness!
Together with vision Lisa lost her job, independence and sense of life.Another blow was the wife of the disease, which was brought to experience heart problems and microstroke.

People said to her: "The blind can not draw", but it proves the opposite.
Lisa faced with many difficulties.She could not learn the technique of painting, watching the actions of the teacher, could not see the pictures.But that did not stop a woman, and in return she came up with its own system of education: bugged audio versions of books on art and attended with her husband, famous museums, for which she never found time in his previous life.In order to navigate in the composition of the future picture, Lisa pulled the canvas grid of ropes, but eventually learned to do without them.
first she painted flowers, animals and landscapes.
critics and other artists are not just talking to Lisa that she can draw any number of abstraction or flowers, but she will never become a true artist, because she can not afford to depict people and scenes from street life.It was a challenge, and Fittipaldi answered it adequately.In 1998, she drew the first street scene and since then makes it permanent.This all remains a mystery as Lisa manages to draw without seeing paints and canvas;the artist claims that it is unclear even to her.
Lisa Fittipaldi works are regularly exhibited in galleries around the world.
