Aelita Andre, a small child and a great artist. The youngest artist in the world Aelita Andre: biography, works and interesting facts The youngest artist in the world

They are young, promising, insanely talented and simply delighted with their work. Their parents never dreamed that their children would become real celebrities at such a young age. Who are they, the youngest and most interesting artists in the world?

Kieron Williamson. England

This boy is called “little Monet”, his paintings are instantly sold out after exhibitions and become more and more expensive every year; he devoted half his life to drawing, and his parents lived in a rented apartment until they bought a house with the proceeds from Kiron's paintings.

Kieron Williamson was born in England in the small town of Norfolk. His father is a builder, his mother is a general practitioner. The parents could not even imagine that their son would draw. Kiron, like all boys, loved football, outdoor activities, games with friends. All he could draw was coloring sketches, and not very neatly. But, as always, everything was the fault of the case.

One day the family went to rest in the city of Cornwall. Kieron was simply delighted with the boats and sailboats moored to the shore. He drew this beauty. From that day on, his career as an artist began.

He did not stop writing after returning home. On the contrary, he took courses in watercolor painting, visited the studio. In the same year he opened his first exhibition. His paintings sold out in 14 minutes.

The owner of an art gallery in Norfolk says that Kieron has no equal in skill, because he paints with different paints equally well, combining colors amazingly. In his paintings, proportions and shadows are respected. Kiron's writing style is reminiscent of an impressionist one.

Kiron is predicted a great future, because his paintings are collected by collectors in many countries of the world, believing that in the near future they will cost much more.

Dusan Krtolitsa. Serbia

At the age of two, he took a pencil in his hands, and by the age of eight he already had two exhibitions, he is called the “eye-pull-out boy” because of the amazing accuracy of all the details of his work.

Dušan Krtolica has become the real pride of Serbia, although he considers himself an ordinary boy. Dusan's first work was an accurately drawn whale, although his parents did not attach any importance to the boy's drawing. But every day the child asked for more and more paper for work.

Today, Dushan draws about 500 works in a week. Depicting the animal and plant world is his passion. But it is not only surprising that the boy makes incomparable drawings with a simple pen or marker, all his animals are depicted with amazing anatomical accuracy. But Dushan depicts not only modern animals, but also representatives of the fauna that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago.

Parents were concerned about such a passion for their son and showed him to a psychiatrist. But the specialist noted the high level of the boy's intellect, and reassured him: the "genius" of the child does not affect his development in any way, and drawing acts as a kind of emotional release. Dushan gets along well with classmates, loves all boyish games, and, surprisingly, dreams of becoming not an artist, but a zoologist.

Aelita Andre. Australia

This girl is eight years old today. At the age of four, she already had her own exhibitions, now she is a member of the National Association of Australian Artists, and sales from her paintings amount to 800 thousand dollars.

Aelita Andre started painting when she was less than a year old. As always, everything happened by accident. The girl's father is also an artist. One day he left a canvas with paints on the floor, and found that his little daughter was painting with pleasure. Of course, he was only glad - for a child, anything, just not to cry.

But from that day Aelita's love for drawing began. At the age of two, she already had her own exhibition.

In the works of the girls, they observe a surrealistic style of painting, and the manner of drawing is compared with the technique of Salvador Dali.

Of course, many see in the works of the girl only "childish daub". But critics are just saying that her paintings do not look like children's drawings. They admire the combination of colors, their own style, features of texture and composition.

Xing Yao Tsen. Taiwan, USA

He started drawing at the age of 10. From his native country he moved to the United States to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in San Francisco. His landscapes are simply mesmerizing, and teachers predict a great future for him.

Xing Yao just fell in love with San Francisco. He draws the same places many times, only from different angles. He especially likes to draw in the early morning or evening - when there are few passers-by.

His cityscapes are simply amazing.

Xing Yao has an amazing "floating" oil painting technique. One gets the impression that he paints with watercolors.

Now he is 29 years old, and with each work his technique becomes more and more perfect. Who knows what skill Xing Yao will achieve in, say, ten years from now?

Shorio Mahano. India

Emu is not yet ten years old, and his work is presented at an exhibition in his native India and in New York. The paintings of Shorio Mahano fascinated the critics.

Shorio Mahano works in the style of abstract expressionism. His passion for drawing began at the age of four, when he imitated the passion of his older sisters. But the parents immediately realized that these were not just children's drawings, but something more.

This was confirmed at the art exhibition where the works were taken.

Shorio uses a special technique of applying paint in several layers. It takes him several days to complete one job.

Shorio is delighted with his occupation and answers without hesitation when asked what he wants to be - of course, an artist!

Alicia Zakharko. Ukraine

This girl is not yet three years old, and she is already registered in the Book of Records of Ukraine as the youngest artist who has her own exhibition.

Alicia Zakharko was born and lives in Ternopil. She started drawing when she couldn't even walk. Her parents are professional artists. They gave the girl a canvas and paints when she was 9 months old. Remembering how the girl painted for the first time, the mother smiles, because the daughter fit entirely on the canvas.




Parents suggested that the child draw only for general development. They had no idea that their daughter's passion would soon make them local celebrities.




One day, a local professional artist saw Alicia's painting. He considered it interesting and worthy of attention. When he heard that it was painted by a two-year-old girl, he thought that they were joking with him, because the picture was made compositionally correctly, and the colors combined just fantastically.




What is so interesting about Alicia's paintings? The style of her work has been described as abstract expressionism, and the execution technique has been compared to the work of Jackson Polock.



She combines bright colors, and this combination is not typical for children's drawing.




Alicia says that she loves to draw the sea, trees, people. Only the sea in her paintings explodes with different colors. So what, then, the artist saw him that way.

Parents give complete freedom for the creativity of the girl. They do not teach her to draw, so as not to “frighten off” her talent. Alicia's mother says that her daughter will decide for herself whether she will receive an art education. For parents, the most important thing is that their child is happy. And, judging by the mood of the work, she is very happy.

All these children began to draw on their own, their parents did not help them and did not force them to develop skills. Who knows, maybe your child has a dormant talent, you just need to catch a moment to reveal it.

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: Aelita Andre, Australian abstract painter, known for her surreal style of painting, is a member of the National Association for the Visual Arts of Australia (National Association for the Visual Arts). Everything is fine, but 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 ideal conditions for her to continue her 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, all of professional quality and in a large assortment. The child really creates, not being afraid to get dirty and spoil 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 wonderful 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.

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 acquire their true meaning and sparkle 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, Aelita, thanks to the care of her parents, had everything for drawing: her own spacious workshop, a huge number of canvases of different sizes, a lot of acrylic paints, powdered dyes, sparkles, 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 in 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, spilling rivers of colors, mixing components of different textures, she is carried away by the story that is born in her head, at the same time 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 unravel ... 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.

Willie Mosconi - professional pool player at age 6

William Joseph Mosconi was a famous American billiards player from Philadelphia. His father was the owner of a billiard room, but he did not allow the child to play, so the boy trained in the literal sense of the word on tomatoes, and instead of a cue, he used a mop handle.

The father soon noticed that his son was showing signs of success, and began to arrange exhibition tournaments in which his son had to stand on a stool to see what was happening on the table. At the same time, he almost always won against older players.

In 1919, an exhibition competition was held between the six-year-old Willy and the reigning world champion, Ralph Greenleaf. Ralph won, but Willy's brilliant game opened the way for him to professional billiards. Since 1924, at the age of 11, William has been regularly putting on shows showing off his dainty trickshots.

Later, between 1941 and 1957, he held the BCA World Championship 15 times in a row. The number of various records related to billiards and set by William Mosconi is long to enumerate, I can only say that the record for continuous clogging of balls (consecutive balls) in his performance is 526! That is, he continuously and without errors pocketed 526 balls into the pockets ...

Once the director of the Brunswick Street Gallery in Melbourne, Mark Jemison, at a meeting with one of the photographers, saw pictures of works by an unknown author, and agreed to include them in the program of the annual exhibition. Booklets were printed, advertisements were given in specialized magazines.

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, works on creating art photographs. 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 an 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".

Discovery of talent

Drawing is a hobby of the whole Andre family. Little Aelita watched the creative process of her parents from early childhood. She saw how adults paint on large canvases right on the floor. Once Michael Andre, while working on another painting, 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 constantly worked 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.

Solo exhibitions

Five years ago, the whole world learned about a 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 historians

Michael Andre and Nika Kalashnikov 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. Well-known critics and experts in the field of art appreciated the girl's paintings 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 figures 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.
