The painting was innocent and liberated yet mature and masterly in its execution and effect. She had created an extraordinarily beautiful painting - a genuine work of art - the work of a mature abstract artist. Her father stood up and looked at her painting instantly struck by the beauty of his daughter's work. Her eyes glanced from one point to another absorbed in the act of painting the sheer pleasure. It was instantly evident she loved her newfound activity and the effect she was creating, smiling and joyously babbling the way an infant does. Her father Michael recalls, “Before Aelita was born I had dabbled in painting on and off as a pastime." He lay the canvas down in the family room and was about to begin painting when Aelita, still a tiny infant, crawled onto the canvas and without any hesitation began squeezing the tubes of paint and delightedly yelling and laughing smearing and dabbing paint across the canvas. She is continually exhibiting around the world achieving success and garnering acclaim at her shows.Īelita's parents first realised Aelita had a natural talent for painting one day when Aelita was only an infant. From her 2011 sellout solo show in New York, Aelita has eager collectors of her work and fans around the world. Aelita Andre is now recognized as the youngest painter in the world. Complex yet accessible, sophisticated yet unguided, Aelita’s artworks communicate a sense of excitement and allow a unique access into the creative mind of a child." (2011) ![]() The structural rhythms are unmistakable and completely instinctive, reflecting an understanding of composition far beyond her years. Aelita creates swirling layers of paint splatters and uses iridescent neon glitter to form an intricate, kinetic whole. In an article published by Agora Gallery, Aelita Andre's works were referred to as, "extraordinary acrylic on canvas paintings with occasional added objects such as toys like plastic dinosaurs, butterflies and penguins, and various other items, including even a microscope. Intention and message are at their most abstract in her art. Her art has been described as wildly imaginative eruptions of color in a kaleidoscopic phantasmagoria of paint and found objects. Created with the joy and free spiritedness of her youth, her expressively colorful abstracts are remarkable evidence of her spontaneous intuitive impulses. Today Aelita Andre is an internationally recognized artist whose solo exhibition at Agora Gallery, New York, in 2011 sold out in seven days. Every stroke, smear and splash is the indelible signature of innocence - the subconscious mind 'writing' its own existence - in the moment - onto a canvas using paint and found objects. Bubbling, powdery, glistening surfaces intrigue her experimental mind and she finds the infinite dazzling variations of the interplay of colour immensely exciting. Aelita is overwhelmingly interested in colour, texture, shape, line as a raw expressive ingredient in the process of creation. ![]() Some works may allude to thematic concerns and employ found objects b ut they are blissfully contumacious. She is far too broad and free-spirited to confine herself. ![]() In her paintings Aelita is not concerned with representation or figuration. They are free, unhindered, pure in their application and motivation. Aelita Andre breaks away from the conformity and convention of western art to truly create art works stunning in their vivacity and originality. Picasso and Rothko acknowledged the superiority of the art of a child in its ability to be visually brazen, bold and - the characteristic they above all yearned for - new and revolutionary. In Aelita Andre it is as if art creation itself in all its purity and its essence is being returned to its source, to the wellspring from which it was originally derived. In essence she embodies the rich expressive artistic impulses that the fathers of modern art such as Kandinsky and Klee drew upon over 100 years ago to create the entire abstract art movement. She first began to paint professionally from nine months old when her amazing acrylic on canvas paintings were included in her solo exhibition in Australia at age two. Aelita Andre, (born 2007), is an Australian born abstract painter. ![]()
