One friend of mine named Eric is very talented in drawing. He can draw in any visual art genre, from avantgarde and surrealism to realistic portraits, still-lifes, landscapes etc. He hasn't got an artistic education, yet he can easily master any techniques just intuitively. In his case it's a gift he inherited from his father, who was also a brilliant painter also able to create images of tremendous complexity, original color harmony realized in professional strokes.
Obviously, this is a cognitive ability Eric got through genes and his descendants are also very likely to have this special artistic gene.
You know, I somewhat envy him, because I have an equally rich imagination, only I'm unable to express the wonderful graphical ideas coming to my mind because I don't possess this special artistic streak.
My dream is that a special machine was constructed in order to influence the prenatal development of a child in such a way so he/she would get a genuine talent in painting,
