Sketching something by hand is difficult enough for most, but Nguyen Phi Chau, a 23-year-old student from Can tho city paints with his hands, his feet, his mouth and plenty of aplomb.
Chau spent six months training himself to do so in his cluttered room, no so different from the workspace of most professional painters.
Most find it hard to believe that the precise brushstrokes on the 100 watercolours and wax paintings of animals, flowers, pastoral scenery and portraits were executed by his mouth and legs.
Nguyen Trung Nghia, Chau’s father, said Chau had an innate skill to use both hands and legs as a child, and could write and do his chores with both hands.
As a high school senior, his teacher and friends caught Chau writing separate sets of class notes – one for himself and one for a sick friend. Last year he was inspired by a TV show on Guiness Records in Viet nam to learn how to draw with his feet and mouth in order to get featured on the show.
Chau now uses his unique talents during a part time gig drawing advertisements to support his parents.
