(Romereports.com) New artists
are almost always inspired by some of the greatest artists before them.
This young woman is no exception. She has replicated great works from
Italian painter Giotto, depicting the life of Jesus, as well as the Last
Judgment by Michelangelo.
But the work did
not come easy for Marianna Caprioletti. She suffers from Pendred
syndrome, and her paintings are the only way of expressing herself.

“She
has a severe form of autism. She is blind and deaf. She communicates
with those closes to her through her body language, and through her
designs, which are beautiful.”
She began
by painting portraits of her classmates at a school for the deaf. Now,
her paintings depict images such as Joseph and Mary fleeing Egypt, the
birth of Jesus in a manger, his baptism at the River Jordan, him washing
his disciples feet, and the Last Supper.

“All
of her colored works are reproductions of the greatest artists like
Gauguin, Klimt or Picasso. Her paintings depict great works form the
past which she reinterpreted in her own way.”
With
the help from the Community of St. Egidio in Rome, Marianna Caprioletti
has exhibited her work, allowing her to overcome her challenges and
speak to the public, without a word or sound.
