PROFILE: Richard Wawro
“For Richard, art is his life and his love. When he was three years old, his parents were told that he was moderately to severely retarded, along with autistic behaviour.
When he was twelve years old, a certain Professor of the Polish School of Art in London viewed Richard’s drawings and was “thunderstruckâ€; he described his works as an “incredible phenomenon rendered with the precision of a mechanic and the precision of a poet.†Richard is known worldwide and has sold over 1000 pictures in over 100 exhibitions.
