According to Disbaled-World, around 10 percent of the world’s population, or roughly 650 million, are living with a disability. One of them is Fatemeh Hammami Nasrabadi. Born with a twin, Fatemeh was deprived of oxygen at birth, resulting in her disability. But she did not let this fact hinder her from achieving her dreams of being a painter, being a painter she achieved.

Although things are hard for her, she still pushed through with what her heart has been telling her. But of course, the road to success wasn’t without difficulty. She told Bored Panda, “The biggest challenge for me is that I have 85 percent disability and that makes it difficult for me to paint. I only work with one of my legs.”

She has also done a painting of some of the world’s most popular icons including Charlie Chaplin and Selena Gomez, and some Iranian personalities including Mehran Modiri, Dariush Arjomand, Jamshid Mashayekhi, and Parviz Parastui.
