G'day to you! How you going? Good to see you, mate! Help yourself to some coffee and a couple ANZAC cookies, why don't'cha? Y'know that I dabble in art, eh. Well' here's a little miss who has been dabbling since she was 9 months old...The Australian "abstract expressionist" Aelita Andre began painting "professionally" at age 9 months, said her parents, and by 22 months had her own exhibit at Melbourne's Brunswick Street gallery, and by age 4, the paintbrush-armed toddler had enjoyed a $24,000 sale.
She has now also distinguished
herself as an "artist" of another type while explaining her approach. In
April, the now-8-year-old told News.com.au, "I interpret my style of
painting as a magic, abstract universe. It doesn't sit in one tiny
sphere in all realism; it goes out and it explores the world." She acknowledged seeing things (e.g., "rabbits") that an 8-year-old might, but pointed out that she also sees "the cosmos." "I just feel free. I don't feel locked up in a tiny world." [News.com.au (Sydney), 4-7-2015]
See ya, eh!
