WOULD you believe us if we told you that these stunning paintings were done by someone using just her MOUTH?
The 24-year-old first picked up a paintbrush when she was just a toddler and taught herself this very unique technique.
Born in Bogota in Columbia, Zuly was inspired to be creative by her family - mum Guillermina, brother Efrain and sister Nyx - who also enjoy painting.
Her family live in poverty, so her mother was determined to teach her how to sit upright so she wouldn't spend too much time on dirty floors.
I want to show people you can do whatever you want, even me as a woman without limbs
However, her love of art also comes with a price, as painting for long periods of time can cause Zuly pain in her neck, jaw and back.
She enjoys sharing her story through motivational speeches in hope that she can show people anything is possible.
"It's a big physical and mental effort to paint as there is pain in my neck, jaw and back while holding the brush.
"But in my artistic life, these issues do not outweigh my desire to create and prove to myself that I can do it."
