Artist Rajacenna van Dam has an impressive gift. The Dutch woman manages to paint using her feet and hands, namely ten paintings simultaneously, as she has been doing in a museum in the Netherlands.

According to AFP, it all started as a challenge and, today, Rajacenna makes this method her art, planning all the moves in advance.

"I work a little on one canvas and then move on to another, so I'm constantly dividing my attention between all the paintings," the 31-year-old artist told the agency.

Rajacenna is originally left-handed and only started painting with both hands five years ago. "It was a small challenge to be faster, and I discovered that I am really ambidextrous," she said.

It was when a journalist asked her one day if she could also paint with her feet that it all began. "For fun", the artist experimented and realized how she could hold the brushes between her toes. The solution? Plasticine.

It was after sharing a video of this feat on social media that the requests started to arrive, as it went viral. Currently, only she can distinguish the paintings that are made with her hands from those that are made with her feet, saying that the latter "are a little less precise".

Today, Rajacenna van Dam has increased her popularity on social media and also exhibits her skillful art in a museum in Vlaardingen, her hometown.

The paintings are sold for between six thousand and 12 thousand euros. See some images in the gallery above.
