Some paintings are realistic, others impressionistic. The subjects are famous actresses and models and singers, each captured lovingly and with a sure hand. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/Young_man_with_autism_flourishes_as_an_artist.html"><P>But the most amazing thing about these beautiful works of art is their maker. The painter is Mariano Bula, 20, a young man who also happens to have autism, a developmental disability that impacts communication skills and the ability to interact socially. He can't remember when he started creating art, but today he considers it his lifeline to the world.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/Young_man_with_autism_flourishes_as_an_artist.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.mysanantonio.com/img/FE71E00D-42B4-4919-BCA6-CDE82D6CBCB7" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/Young_man_with_autism_flourishes_as_an_artist.html"><P>“Art saves my life,” says Bula, who is tall and attractive with large, soft hands and a mellow voice. “It helps me feel like a normal person.
