About Viktor Bevanda: Viktor Bevanda is a 15-year-old who can't speak. Diagnosed with Autism at an early age, he hasn't let his limitation in comprehension and verbal abilities limit his artistic talent.

Viktor began to show signs of Autism at the age of 2. After a change in behavior testing led to a diagnosis of autism. By the age of 5 his parents began to take notice of his talent in art and within a few years his technique developed even though he was self-taught and he started to express himself through his art. He paints what he loves the most - animals and flowers. He is painting since he could hold a pen.

He proves Autism is no barrier to creativity. He has ability to focus on detail and he can understand how colors interact with each other.

He was raised in Serbia and his parents made a big step in their lives and moved to the USA in the end of 2018. He lives in Florida.

His artwork is available at vichysart.com

About Artist with Autism: In May 2012, Artists with Autism, Inc was Founded as a not for profit based out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They help individuals with autism have meaningful lives with purpose, by focusing on their talents and abilities and helping them build a business around those talents. They believe supported self-employment is a very viable alternative for paid employment. They offer opportunities for emerging and aspiring artists with autism to be recognized for their talent and not defined by their circumstances. By focusing on the abilities of those with autism spectrum, Artists with Autism Inc has managed to create a social venture that is not only providing an income for those individuals who have not been able to gain traditional employment but is also making an impact in the community by dismissing many of the myths about autism.
