Full-Time Artist | Artjamila (Autistic Savant Artist)
Wan Jamila, known professionally as Artjamila, is a world-renowned savant artist who had broken all barriers at a very young age, able to create art purely from her soul without any formal art education. Just so you know, artistically-inclined savants create and perform their art with absolute ease. To them, it is as natural as breathing. Some can hear a piano concerto once and play it back flawlessly. Others can catch a fleeting glimpse of a moving animal and recreate it perfectly in clay.
