Introduction:

schizophrenia can occur in any person even talented individuals. Several painters had schizophrenia. Van Gogh is a well known example Method: A single schizophrenic patient with several paintings is presented. Results/Discussion :Patients with schizophrenia may try to portray their special feelings and experiences. As many of patients have trouble to communicate with others verbally, paintings can be a suitable way for them to make others able to understand them. Broyan Chanley and Phyllis Jones were two talented artists who try to do so. In this presentation we present a schizophrenic patient who tried to describe his psychotic symptoms in paintings. He had also rare Lilliputian hallucination which was reflected in his works.
