A rare neurological condition left him paralyzed. Now he's inspiring others with his ability to create art only with the use of his mouth.
"There was not much hope for me, I only was given three months of life," Salas said."You know, doctors are doctors and here I am. I'm an artist, I guess you could say a successful one."He said he's always been an artist, but once he lost control of his hands, he rediscovered his love for drawing by using his mouth to control a stylus on a specialized tablet connected to a computer.
What's amazing is that Salas wasn't satisfied with just drawing digital art. He said he couldn't feel like a real artist until he could replicate his drawings with paper and pen. It's not unlike how Salas can't go back to the time when he could still draw with his hands. But he remains forever optimistic, creating a brand all on his own called, Resilience of Mind. "Mainly being resilient and just not let, you know, something like this define the stereotype of someone in my condition," Salas said.
