It is unfortunate that blind people are not able to appreciate art in the way that many with sight are able to. Because of this, painter Roy Nachum creates oil paintings with poems in braille in the background. By using poems specifically, the visually-impaired community can access the painting's emotion.

The artist's work outside of braille paintings is just as inspirational. He explores hyperrealism and our sense of perception. His art has won him many fans, including Russell Simmons and Justin Timberlake.
