Is Aelita Andre a little genius or just a child who is allowed to draw? Aelita Andre, a small child and a great artist.
Aelita Andre, an artist from Australia, made the whole world talk about herself and became a real event in the art world. The fact is that Aelita is the youngest artist in the world and this fact does not prevent her from creating stunning canvases that are bought up by art connoisseurs like pies on a market day.
Aelita Andre was born on January 9, 2007 and at the age of 9 months she became addicted to drawing. Parents (Michael Andre (artist) - Australian, mother Nika Kalashnikov (artist) - Russian) girls immediately turned their attention to the unusualness of her drawings. They were very different from the drawings made by her peers and even older children. They were very similar to those abstract paintings that hang in the most famous galleries and museums around the world. Children's abstract thinking works wonders. She does not just draw scribbles, but does it on a large scale and every picture has a hidden meaning.
Art critics recognized Aelita Andre the youngest professional artist in the world. In addition, she became one of the five smartest children on the planet. She has two solo exhibitions in the USA and Italy. The most expensive picture was sold for 30 thousand dollars, and the total cost of all sold paintings has already exceeded one million dollars.

One of the Eastern teachings states that there is a huge difference in perception between a person who looks at an elephant and an elephant who sees a person. A person knows certain things about elephants and already considers them through the prism of this knowledge, but an elephant has no idea who a person is, and therefore perceives him without distortion. Based on this, every inhabitant of the planet, according to Eastern wisdom, should strive for the same crystal clear perception of the world as the aforementioned elephant. Then things will take their toll true meaning and play with the fullness of colors, sounds, possibilities.
Here lives in Australia a girl of seven years Aelita Andre, and she was able to convey her childish, pure perception of the world to us, adults, through her unusually talented work. The girl is an experienced artist: she created her first painting at 9 months old, still unable to walk. Dad, Australian artist Michael Andre, left a blank canvas in the living room, she crawled up to him and began to squeeze paint out of tubes ... And what she got as a result of this mixing led the baby to indescribable delight.
Since then, thanks to the care of her parents, Aelita has had everything for drawing: her own spacious workshop, great amount canvases different sizes, a lot of acrylic paints, powdered dyes, sequins, stars, butterflies, kitchen sponges, foil, various toys, details, beads, beads and all sorts of things, so that the inquisitive mind of a child and the boundless, inherent only to a child, imagination, find their splash on the canvas. The young artist is very serious and concentrated, her movements seem to be dictated by a childish wisdom. With the responsibility of the creator, she creates more and more new masterpieces.
But her canvases are recognized as highly artistic, according to critics, artists, art historians around the world. They recognize that color, composition, movement, liveliness play a special role in her works.
Aelita begins to create around the canvas with a game, which she plunges into, as if into a serious meditation. Arranging the figurines on the canvas with concentration, pouring rivers of colors, mixing components of different textures, she is carried away by the story that is born in her head, while transferring it to the canvas. The artist says that her paintings are abstract, but they have concrete objects about which she can tell a whole story.
Aelita is the smallest professional artist on the planet. Her first exhibition took place when she was two years old. Talent, of course, was transferred to her, first of all, at the gene level. Indeed, in addition to her father, an artist, her mother, Russian emigrant Nika Kalashnikova, is a photographer, and her grandfather was also a professional painter. The ingenious baby gives her viewer the opportunity to look at the world again, as once in childhood, with the pure eyes of a child.
Her canvases, made in the technique of expressive abstract art, sometimes resemble portholes that go straight into space. Fabulous placers of intergalactic dust and the twinkling of distant planets tear us away from the Earth, relieving us of gravity. The paintings whisper to us that it is never too late to become a child again, to break through the multi-layered rules, norms, teachings about understanding the essence of things and see the world as a huge, inviting cosmos, where there are many mysteries that we still have to solve ... But , with whom she is compared, said:
“It took me my whole life to learn to draw like a child”
The girl was more fortunate: her parents saw her talent as a painter in time and created all the conditions for its development. Aelita Andre has her whole life ahead of her, and she already possesses the skill that the great Pablo dreamed of and improves it every day.

short biography
A talented girl from Australia. Her family lives in the city of Melbourne. The birthday of the little artist in winter is January 9th. She turns 10 next year.
Aelita Andre's parents are also involved in art. Her father is the famous Australian artist Michael Andre, and her mother, Nika Kalashnikova, is working on creating artistic photos. The mother of a gifted girl is from Russia.
Hobbies and passions
If you do not take into account the special talent, then Aelita Andre is quite ordinary girl. She learned two languages English and Russian (she prefers to speak the latter). The young artist loves chocolate most of all.
Also, nine-year-old Aelita enjoys playing the piano and attends gymnastics training. She enjoys making crafts, which she often brings to kindergarten. The artist enjoys watching TV. Like all children her age, she loves animal shows and cartoons. She is especially interested in videos about dinosaurs. The girl is fond of astronomy, often watching the program "Cosmos".
Talent Discovery
Drawing is a hobby of the whole Andre family. Little Aelita from the very beginning early childhood watched over creative process parents. She saw how adults paint on large canvases right on the floor. One day Michael Andre, while working on another picture, left a piece of paper unattended for a while. When he returned to the canvas, he saw that the nine-month-old baby crawled to the paints on her own and smeared them simply with her hands. Aelita Andre did it with such enthusiasm and passion that the surprised father allowed his daughter to continue painting.
Since then, the girl has been constantly creating with her parents, who gave her separate sheets of paper for this.
The rapid development of the artist's career
In 2009, when the baby was not yet 2 years old, my mother took Aelita Andre's drawings and showed them to her friend Mark Jemison, director of the Brunsik Gallery. Nika Kalashnikova did not tell the art critic who the author of the works was in order to avoid bias. Mark Jamison rated several paintings and exhibited them at a group show in Melbourne. When the public found out how old the artist was, everyone was shocked. Some made accusations against the parents, allegedly they use their daughter for profit. But Nika and Michael never forced the baby to draw, this is entirely her initiative.
Just a few months later, the artist Aelita Andre became famous in China. Her canvases were exhibited at the Australian Girl's Masterpieces group, which made a splash in the art world. One of her paintings was sold for $24,000.
Personal exhibitions
Five years ago, the whole world learned about young talent named Aelita Andre. The artist's work has been exhibited at the Agora Gallery in the United States. Personal vernissage took place in the summer of 2011 in New York, it lasted for 22 days. The exhibition was organized at the expense of the author's personal funds.
The exposition included more than twenty paintings, nine of which were sold immediately for more than 30 thousand dollars. The cost of the paintings ranged from $10,000. After such success, the girl began to be called "baby Picasso", "phenomenon", "wunderkind". The exhibition was called The Prodigy of Color (Miracle of Color).
Three months later, Aelita's paintings went to Italy. In the city of Tuscany in September 2011, the second individual exhibition of the young artist was opened. Most of the paintings sold have joined the exposition range of private collectors.
Recognition by world art critics
Michael Andre and Nika Kalashnikova support their daughter in every possible way. Parents provided the young artist with everything necessary. They equipped a modern workshop for her, bought a wide variety of paints and sparkles.
Artist Aelita Andre works in the style of expressive abstract art. Her paintings have received worldwide recognition. Notable critics and experts in the field of art appreciated the girl's canvases as highly artistic. In their opinion, movement and color, composition and liveliness play a special role in Aelita's masterpieces.
A young talented artist in her own way tunes in to work. She comes up with a story, which she then embodies on canvas. In her paintings, the girl uses not only acrylic paints, but also other materials, such as tree bark or branches, dinosaur figurines or balls.
A small Australian artist herself determines the place and time for creativity. Sometimes she has a desire to paint even at night. In the process of creative height Aelita Andre (whose paintings are recognized as highly artistic) can be distracted from work for several hours. But after some time, the girl always returns to the canvas to finish her next masterpiece.
Some art historians have repeatedly expressed doubts about the full authorship of the artist's paintings, they are too good. In their opinion, one of the baby's parents could "make a hand" in the masterpieces. But Nika and Michael claim that their daughter is simply obsessed with painting and they do not interfere in her creation process.
Pictures of the youngest artist in St. Petersburg
This year, on September 2, Aelita Andre's solo exhibition "Music of Infinity" opened in Russia. The works of the Australian artist-phenomenon are located in the Museum of the Academy of Arts in the cultural capital of the Russian Federation - in St. Petersburg. The exposition presents more than fifty paintings by Aelita, collected over all her years of creativity. Also, museum visitors saw photographic works, sculptures, personal items and pencil sketches of the artist.
The exhibition also features sound paintings by Aelita André. A nine-year-old girl independently and unconsciously created a new movement in the art world "magical expressionism". She combined painting and sound.
According to the plan of the organizers, "Music of Infinity" was supposed to last a month. But the Russian audience liked the works of the youngest artist on the planet so much that the exhibition was extended for another ten days.
Pictures painted by young Aelita
An Australian girl has painted many canvases in her eight years of creativity. She presented such paintings as Dinosaur Island, Space Ocean, String City, Fairy Island, Peacock in Space, Kangaroo, Southern Cross.
According to Aelita Andre herself, she will paint for the rest of her life. She needs painting like air and water. The girl-phenomenon plans to present more than one masterpiece to the world. We wish her good luck and inspiration!
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: Aelita Andre(Aelita Andre), Australian abstract painter, known for her surreal style of painting, is a member of the National Association visual arts Australia (National Association for the visual arts). It's all right, that's just we are talking about a 4 year old girl
Yesterday I came across a material about this baby, as a result I got stuck on the Internet for an extra hour, at least the topic seemed so unusual and ambiguous to me.
Aelita is the daughter of Australian artist Michael Andre and Russian photographer Nika Kalashnikova. The little girl started drawing at the age of 9 months, and her parents (well done!) created for her ideal conditions to continue with his interesting painting.
There is a video where she draws: a muzzle completely smeared with paints, hair, clothes, herself concentrated and serious, in a separate studio room, completely “decorated” with colored blots. On the floor is a large canvas (with a painted background) and a sea of jars, tubes, brushes, everything professional quality and in a wide range. The child really creates, not being afraid to get dirty and ruin something. A spectacle that can be watched for a long time)))
Some of the works have names - this is "Dinosaur Island"
This is the surreal "Eagle" performed by Aelita
Most of all, the comments are unpleasantly surprising - some say "the usual children's daub", some recognize the talent, but doubt the authenticity of the authorship and that the artist's dad does not take part in their creation. Some write that my child would have such a studio, and I would have so much free time and money to study with him ...
There is an interesting statement that is very out of place here: "The difference between an abstract artist and you is that you only 'could', and he painted."
In June of this year, Aelita's solo exhibition took place in New York under the title "Miracle of Color". Her paintings are successfully sold - the amount of 32 paintings sold amounted to more than 800 thousand dollars. Some spit, not wanting to recognize children's blots as art, some buy and hang paintings on the wall, admiring and calling it surrealism, close to Dali's work.
The baby made a fuss))) I hope she has a great future, and the most inveterate skeptics will be convinced of her talent. And talent, even without the makings of genius, can be developed in exactly the ways that Aelita's parents act.
