Four-year-old art prodigy Aelita Andre  Budding young artist
takes the art world by storm!   Aelita’s parents, Nikka
Kalishnikova and Michael Andre, are both artists themselves, and
are happy to support and encourage their child’s talents. Art
critics the world over have touted her style as abstract
expressionism, accidentalism, or surrealism. Aelita uses acrylic
paints on canvas with abandon, and accents her pieces with found
objects such as twigs, toys, and even paintbrushes themselves,
creating three-dimensional effects and interesting textures.
Aelita’s current exhibition at the Agora Gallery is open until
this Saturday, June 25th, if you are in the area and would like
to see her art for yourself.  What do you think about young
Aelita’s artistic masterpieces? Does she show a true
understanding and control over her paintings? Do you believe
that any child, given the proper resources and encouragement,
could create works just as impressive?  Aelita Andre, Butterfly
