Over at least the last one hundred years
there have been many kinds of mediums who have produced
paintings and drawings supposedly inspired by spirit contact.
Judge for yourself.
Coral Polge Psychic Artist
Coral was an artist and a skeptic but she
went on to draw more than 60,000 portraits of deceased loved ones. Sometimes she would work jointly with another medium who would link in and give additional information about the person.

Luiz Antonio Gasparetto(1948-2018)
Luiz Antonio Gasparetto grew up in a Spiritist family in Brazil. His mother Zibia practiced psychography (automatic writing) and eventually published books of spirit communications. Luiz was able to go into trance and, in darkness, paint in the style of a wide range of famous dead painters (Monet, Picasso, Rembrandt, da Vinci, Modigliani, Manet, van Gogh, Gauguin, etc). In one demonstration he did four paintings at once: one with each hand, one with each bare foot (these being done under the table at which he was seated), while his eyes were closed and he carried on a conversation. Each of the four paintings was by a different spirit artist and in four distinct styles that an art expert related to the named artists.

Florencio Anton (1973- ) Salvador, Bahia.
Painting medium Florencio Anton from Brazil says he became
aware of spirit people at the age of eight and began developing
his mediumship at the age of 11, producing spirit voices
and automatic writing and first. Then dead artists began
working through him and he has been giving public demonstrations
for the past 20 years during which time he has produced
over 5,000 paintings by over 100 artists. Each is said to
be unique: he has never produced the same image more than
once. The paintings are sold to support a charitable orphanage.

Florencio Anton supports charitable works at the city of Salvador using the income generated by the paintings. Grupo Espírita Scheilla (GES) is the spiritist foundation started by Florencio in 1999 (together with Sidney Rocha and Ana M. Lima) hosting a variety of pedagogical and psychological free services to help poor families and children of Salvador.
Being a spiritist institution, GES manages Comunidade Maria de Nazaré (CMAN or Mary of Nazareth Community).
"Florencio supports himself solely by his job as a teacher and Regression Therapist since he, as a spiritualist, is not able to use the money generated through the sale of the paintings for his own use." As a matter of fact, as a spiritist, he is not allowed to use the income generated by the paintings to himself, otherwise, spirits would quickly abandon him. His gift is dependent upon the good use he makes of it."
Jose Medrado (1961 - ) in Salvador, Bahia.
A psychologist, teacher, lecturer and Brazilian physical medium, Jose
Medrado, was a medium from childhood. He is a physical medium, able to produce full materialisations, however that was taking to great a toll on his body.
He only started painting
mediumistically at the age of 27, when the spirit Renoir
came up to him and proposed to jointly undertake a work
which would "change paint into bread" in order
to raise funds for the orphanage supported by his Spiritist
Center, which was going through financial problems at that
time. His psychic powers have been
tested by researchers in laboratories in Europe, where he
gave lectures in many countries.

TURNING PAINT INTO BREAD
Jose Medrado is a Brazilian physical medium (as was Chico Xavier). In his early years he produced full materialisations however after about a year he found it too much strain on his body. At the time he was trying to work full time, study at university, and run an orphanage. The painter Renoir came to him with a proposition to "turn paint into bread" to fund his charity work. To demonstrate the power of spirit and to raise funds he goes into trance and allows a group of up to 100 painters in spirit (including Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Matisse, Gauguin, Cassatt, Da Vinci, Morisot and Manet) to paint through him. He was told that they would only come though him if he used the money to fund the momumental charity work of his "city of Light" which he has been supporting for more than 50 years. Since 2014 he has also allowed artists in spirit to work though him to produce sculpture and porcelain painting. The works are then offered to those present at his world-wide demonstrations by auction.

HOW DO WE KNOW HE IS A GENUINE SPIRIT MEDIUM?
1) Medrado is a medium, not a painter or an ilkusionist. One one occasion when he desribed himself as a painter to a shop-keeper, the spirits did not show up that night and he was left unable to produce anything.
2) When he gets ready to paint, and during the demonstrations, members of the audience can perceive a distinct smell of ether.
3) During the sessions you can see Medrado's body jolt when each painter arrives and leaves - see video below and read the testimonial of Eddie Dzenis.
4) One of our clairvoyant friends has actualy seen the painters waiting around for their turn to direct their "human brush". See this interview with Medrado
where he describes his experience in trance.
5) Medrado has a fifty year proven record of dedication and integrity.

THE WORK OF THE CITY OF LIGHT AND THE PROBLEM IT FACES
The City of Light works with a huge number of program and is suported by over 200 volunteers. Over the last few years of Covid the numbers of people seeking aid has increased exponentially and their existing supporters are fully extended. Without warning they have been told that they have to replace their existing fire equipment which will cost $30,000 U.S.
This is an edited version of a video put together 12 years ago - since then the work has increased. These days the orphans have been taken in by families but the centre still runs a school, multiple health services and provides for for 3,000 families per week.
