Who Is Justin White Foreva, The Blind Art King
Justin is a blind, self-taught artist from Englewood, Chicago who turned pain into purpose and vision loss into legacy. After losing his sight at 13 from keratoconus, a rare eye disease, he didn’t stop—he picked up a brush and started creating what he could feel, not just see.
He’s completed over 40 shows across the country, including Art Basel Miami and Art Battle LA. His work has been supported by brands like Golden Paints, Sticker Mule, and Strathmore. His reels have reached over 200,000 views, with nearly a million page views a month.
But here’s what most people don’t see.
I’ve been betrayed. I’ve been doubted. I’ve carried weight I couldn’t explain and still showed up. I’ve fought mental battles that tried to break me. But I didn’t let the pain define me—I let it refine me. I kept going. I kept creating.
I respect art like it’s sacred. I don’t play about it. I create every day and live my life through it. I meet hundreds of people with my art in hand. I draw models, strangers, muses. I make people feel seen in a world that often overlooks them.
I’m not just an artist—I’m building a world.
A world where artists lead, not just decorate. Where kids have safe spaces to create instead of falling into the streets. Where muses are celebrated for their beauty, their bravery, and their spirit.
Right now I’m building The Blind Art King, a children’s book and visual memoir of my journey. But more than that, I want to open creative spaces for the next generation. A place where imagination protects them. A place where they feel safe, inspired, and chosen.
I’m also building a brand called Muse—a movement that honors the women who inspire the world. Because God’s greatest creation is the human body. And my job is to reflect that beauty with love, respect, and art.
This isn’t just about paintings. This is about building a world you can step into and feel free.
Because even though I lost my sight, I see clearer than ever.
And I’ll always be proof that real vision comes from within.
