Saudi Arabia’s bubbling art scene is ever so fascinating. There’s so much budding talent just waiting to get the global attention that they ever so deserve. Recently, we came across one such talent. The artist that we’re talking about is Amjad Al Mutairi.
The most fascinating part is that, despite being blind, she still manages to create the incredible artwork. See for yourselves here:
أمجاد المطيري رسامة سعودية كفيفة أبهرت العالم بإبداعاتها وقدراتها الكبيرة..
ترسم “أمجاد” منذ أن كان عمرها 4 سنوات وذلك بالاقتراب من اللوحة مسافة ربع بوصة اعتماداً على الحواس واللمس والظل وتستغرق اللوحة الواحدة من أسبوع إلى سنة كاملة، pic.twitter.com/tlVTes6cah— أول سعوديـ/ـة | First🥇Saudi (@First1Saudi) September 7, 2021
She’s been drawing since the age of four and she can apparently partially see her paintings from a quarter of an inch distance.
At times, it even takes her a year to complete a painting.

Art seems to run in her family as she is the niece of renowned artists Maha Al Kafi and Mansour Al-Mutairi.
