Aelita Andre: Four-Year-Old Abstract Artist

Move over, Jackson Pollock – there’s a new art prodigy in town and she’s kicking butt and taking names. And dripping paint, too. Meet four-year-old Aelita Andre:

Without explaining who Aelita was or about her age, her mother showed some examples of her art to the curator of an exhibition she was herself due to take part in – and he was so impressed that he asked to get in touch with the artist so that he could include the work he had been shown! Once the identity of the artist was explained to him, he remained undaunted – the quality of the work proved that it should be included in the exhibition together with that of talented professional artists, regardless of the age of its creator. Since then Aelita has gained prestige throughout the world, and her paintings are held in collections in Europe, Asia and Australia. Britain’s BBC even congratulated her on her second birthday!
