This 12-Year-Old Has Taken the Art World by Storm

Lots of kids paint. But 12-year-old Aelita Andre is an established artist known for her abstract paintings inspired by everything from nature to music. Andre, who is from Melbourne, Australia, was just 2 years old when she had her first gallery exhibit. Since then, the painter’s work has been exhibited in cities around the world, including London, Hong Kong and New York City. She has sold paintings for as much as $30,000. Some people have called her a young Jackson Pollock. But Andre isn’t interested in being compared to other artists. She creating her own style.

[@isaphoenix9673]

I'm 12. You need to look at it threw 12-year-olds eyes. No. 4-year-olds eyes. She has somehow been able to keep the imagination that she had as a very young child. The thing is, her paintings mean a lot more than just some paint thrown on a canvas. Paintings she has created give me motivation. It inspires me to become a better person. In her paintings, I can see rivers, and fires working together. That is just one example. You have to think. Do water and Fire typically get along? No. But in her universe, they do. Every child has a universe. They may outgrow it. For me, it is taking a long time. As well as her. And that is a good thing. But, in her universe, everyone gets along. I'm sure that is for most children's universes. (Don't hide the world from young children, they are very good at eavesdropping and know probably know more than you think.) I can see why you think it is just paint splashed on a canvas, but you have to look closer, through a young child's eyes. Look at everything through a child's eyes. What do you see? The world as it is? or do you see a magical world? I hope you see a magical world. Pass this along, please. Especially young children. They will outgrow it, and when they do, it's too late.

Here is my opinion: Abstract art isn’t just throwing paint on a canvas, it’s gotta have a feeling/emotion/meaning to it. If she could explain what meaning it represents then I would consider it art, but if you’re just recklessly throwing paint on a canvas then probably not.

[@fart420fart]

exactly

[@chadliampearcy]

I disagree. Anyone could give some bullshit about the meaning or feeling about a ahem.. 'piece'. Symbols and flags for example are not art in the sense usually referred. If they were called as such that would be just as bad. They hold their own purposes. Splattering paint may look good on a wall, but that's about it. As for 'Abstract Art' that should be about 'Simplified shapes and figures' to represent something alternatively you can have a kewl symmetry/asymmetry going on but I'm pretty sure that's something else.

I can’t take her seriously. In my humble opinion I think that any serious artist must study art history and artworks and learn foundational skills and knowledge wether it may be self-taught or university taught. Only then when you know what was, are, and can be art, is when the Artist, can make deconstructed, or expressionist, or dadaist art that is VALID as fine arts and has value to me personally, and should be considered as such by the masses and the art world to have intrinsic value and translate to monetary and historical significance. Considering aforementioned, the “art” this 12 year old person is making is nothing more than doodles of a privileged child whose parents are able to provide her expensive archival quality materials such as a workspace, canvas, paints, brushes, etc.. that VALID artist use to make fine art.

Modern art world is really confusing for me.

Also half her life and art is controlled by her parents.

It gives me brain aneurysms trying to even accept it. This is such bull crap and we all know it. Edit: forgot to mention her slaughter of violins for her little load blowing "art works". Please, those things were meant to be used to create something actually beautiful and that actually requires actual skill and/or talent. So don't waste them like that. Edit 2: I'm not a violinist like some of the people in the replies here are, but I am a percussionist, so I do relate in some sense too. The absurdity of watching painstakingly crafted works that were meant to create the art of music, (an actual art, too) be Frankensteined into such abominations.

@@pineapplepizzadrip7587 but its is. The same way there can be good art, there can be bad art. Art is art, just doesn't mean "liked by everyone art" Name a movie you think is art, but didn't become outrageously popular, now lets look at the recent Marvel movies, art yeah, but is marvels art really "that good?" or does it just seem like "good art" cuz everyone has seen it? Of course many would say "duh of course its good art" but I don't think its good art at all, its rather repetitive, they reuse frames, shots, and angles, and position of characters all the same.

😂😂 I donno what to say... "This is stupid" is the best response I guess

My mom would kill me if I get a single tiny drop of paint on my shirt or pants.

If you work regular with paint you mostly have old clothes who you wear while painting, they are mostly covered with paint :)

I know shes pretty young and she has some experience with these types of paintings, but I mean come onnnnn. There are so many artists out there who try really hard to make a piece look great and want their art to be shown to others but sometimes they can’t. It’s not fair that people who are at a higher skill level in art don’t get their art shown. There are people who study years of art and know how to make something look correct but all she’s doing is pouring paint on a canvas. I feel like she should actually learn about art instead of presenting a messy canvas in a museum.

This is the same as hitting random notes on an instrument and calling it music

Outsider music is awesome

If she is really an abstract painter, can she sketch and paint in realistic style? Even Picasso and other REAL abstract painters practiced humans and animals before they painted other pieces, I did also. My name is Magdalena, I'm 11 years old artist from Poland and I'm so sad looking at the fake talent noticed. To everyone who think I'm hating right now - I'm so happy for Aelita, but there are other fantastic young artist unnoticed. Maybe they haven't got a huge painting studio, but they practice, practice, practice.
