Stephen Wiltshire ( born Stephen Wiltshire ; April 24, 1974, London) is a British architectural artist, distinguished by his phenomenal ability to reproduce architectural landscapes from memory, having only seen them once. For about three years, Stephen was diagnosed with savant syndrome . When Stephen was about five, he was enrolled at Queensmill School in West London, where teachers first noticed his interest in drawing. The boy did not speak, he spoke his first word about five years, it was the word “paper”, which was an achievement of his teachers, who stimulated him to demand that he be given the things he needed to paint.

In February 1987, the BBC released a program on the Savanta Syndrome, called the “Stupid Wise.” In one episode, the story of a twelve-year-old autistic boy, Stephen Wiltshire, was shown, who drew from memory a surprisingly accurate sketch of St. Pancras Station , which he had visited for the first time only by passing a few hours ago. This plot was followed by hundreds of calls and letters to the BBC, with wishes to acquire the original works of Stephen.
