Alexandra Nechita opened her third GALLERY M in Denver selling exhibit to a group of over 435 art lovers and collectors. The show continues thru June 25, 2003. Her latest drawings, lithographs, aquarelles, and original acrylic on canvas paintings are in the gallery. Alexandra also launched her “Art Department in A Box” program in Colorado. Alexandra has created this program to enable private and corporate donations and underwriting to supply educators and students with needed art supplies. “Art Department in a Box” is Alexandra’s answer to state cutbacks in art education – states like Colorado and California. Alexandra Nechita is a messenger of peace. With the visual power of her cubism, national and international organizations have consistently requested her involvement. Paintings like Hearts Aren’t Meant To Be Broken, which benefited the Agassi Foundation (shown left), have been the main icons for organizations focused on children, education and peace. Alexandra was born in Romania on August 27, 1985. She began working in pen and ink at the age of two. By age five she had graduated to watercolors. At seven she was using oils and acrylics. Her first exhibit was a one-woman (child) show held at a Los Angeles- area public library when she was just eight years old. Her talent was instantly recognized as capacity crowds came to see the “petite Picasso” as the press had labeled her. She was immediately offered an exhibit at the prestigious (non-profit) Mary Paxon Gallery where the exhibit attracted the attention of legitimate art critics and the media who began telling the world about this rarest of child prodigies-an abstract cubist painter who had only recently turned nine years old. Over the following months, Alexandra was invited to one exhibit after another. As she neared her tenth birthday, she had already held an astonishing eight solo exhibits and her talent was quickly being recognized by an art world astonished by her virtuosity. Now, as a young adult, Alexandra’s career has elevated to a level unimaginable for all but the truest of art masters. She has become one of the most recognized artists in the world. Her exhibits attract capacity crowds and her paintings sell out to hordes of eager collectors as quickly as she creates them. Alexandra Nechita to some is an art prodigy; to others simply extraordinary. Unquestionably, Nechita’s work is elegant, provoking, illuminating and inspiring. Most of all it is from a joy of life that this seventeen year old master can reach anyone, at any level. Alexandra Nechita’s hand pulled lithographs, like those below, were created at the prestigous Mourlot Atilier of Paris.
