Stephen Wiltshire



I've been following the career of Stephen Wiltshire MBE since 2006, when he opened his own gallery in London (CLICK). Stephen is an autistic savant with an eidetic (photographic) memory who can rotate a mental image in the way that a computer can rotate 3D vector graphics! Nicknamed "the human camera", he is now world famous and much in demand, so my belief that his art would appreciate in value was probably correct. The Telegraph has posted a slide show of his incredibly detailed drawings done from memory (CLICK). Above is a YouTube video showing how one helicopter ride over Rome allowed Stephen to draw a panorama of the eternal city. Click the title link for Stephen's website.
