Art by Cristóbal M. Toledo

Mouth Artist from Spain

Cristóbal Moreno Toledo, an artist who paints with his mouth despite suffering from muscular dystrophy since birth. His art is impressionistic with warm colors and wide brushstrokes that move towards expressionism. He instinctively chooses subjects, including landscapes, portraits, and nudes, and prefers techniques like sketching, oil painting, engraving, and watercolor. Cristóbal is not just an artist but also a writer, having authored poetry books, stories, and short narratives, and he creates engraved works and pottery. Despite his success, what sets Cristóbal apart is his willingness to share his knowledge and skills with others. He has led courses for artists who paint with their mouth or foot, inspiring others to pursue their passions. Cristóbal’s story is a testament to the power of determination and creativity in overcoming challenges.
