Mark Rafaevich

Mark is a special person, he has a severe form of autism. All he can do in his life is to draw…
It just happened. Mark didn’t study anywhere… He just decided that he liked to draw.
Mark’s paintings are his impressions of events, people, thoughts and dreams.
His paintings are always very emotional!

My Story

This is how Mark describes his autism:
“No two or ten autistic people are the same.”Each person has a special place in the world of autism.
I’m special too.But I am like you with my hands, feet, head. I have autism, but that doesn’t mean I’m just autistic.

My autism is my personality and character. I have feelings, thoughts, abilities, I’m not just thin or fat… but that’s exactly what people pay attention to.
And my perception is the most difficult to understand, the most special and fantastic…

Sometimes the whole world seems hostile, alien to me. Sometimes I hear so many people talking at the same time and I hear every one of them. And even if I close my ears, I understand what they are talking about.
I can tell for sure that the fish is not fresh, that the person has not washed, the child is crying, and there are fresh pastries in the bakery…
I love listening to music, water droplets, your bones. Feel your cheek and to breathe you.I like to play with soccer balls and I like to feel them.
I like to feel food in my mouth. I like dog tail. I like dog smell. I like my grandfather’s stubble beard. I love Moti’s room!
