  • ALEXANDRA NECHITA Painting
    ALEXANDRA NECHITA Painting Alexandra Nechita, from a very young age, has been hailed as a true artistic force. That legacy continues with her new collection entitled “Re: Imagined.” Alexandra skyrocketed onto the art scene at the age of nine. Her talent was instantly recognized as crowds came to see her often monumental paintings. Art critics and the media began telling the world about this rarest of child prodigies: a master of line and color, an artist with a visual language of her own. That visual language is now in its maturation and the result is an extraordinary collection of works that will tour North America in 2019 and 2020 reflecting the years between the works of the celebrated prodigy and the now mature artist who sees the world through a different lens; yet still capturing and reflecting on canvas the artistic elements that made her a force in the art world. In April 2004, Teen People called Alexandra Nechita “One of 20 Teens Who Will Change the World!” In 2005, Nechita’s designs were chosen for a set of legal tender commemorative coins entitled “Peace Is the Only Option!” Struck in pure gold, silver, and platinum, the designs were specially approved by Queen Elizabeth II whose likeness also adorns the coins. In June 2005, Nechita presented her massive 16-foot tall bronze monument entitled “Let There Be Peace” to the people of Singapore. The young artist was named Official Artist of the 2004 World Peace Music Awards. Her book Hands and Dove, released in 2005, contains essays about her art by world-renowned art historians, a narrative by the artist, herself, and photos of her paintings, drawings, sculpture, and glassworks.

  • Nechita Press
    ALEXANDRA NECHITA 02 "Everything I make is a direct extension of whatever is happening internally for me... be it self inflicted chaos or external stimuli. I expose myself in the most vulnerable of ways in my work. I see myself as a storyteller. Narratives evolve in time." ALEXANDRA NECHITA | 2020 ABOUT Alexandra Nechita From a very young age, Alexandra Nechita has been hailed as a true artistic force; affectionately dubbed “Petite Picasso” by the media and art community alike. Today, Nechita is globally acclaimed for her monumental paintings and sculptures. Born in Romania in August of 1985, Alexandra immigrated to the United States at just one and a half years old. She began drawing as a toddler and at the age of seven was working with oil paints and acrylics. By eight years old she held her first solo exhibition at a local Los Angeles Library. Nechita quickly grabbed the attention of art critics and the media who began telling the world about this rare child prodigy - a master of line and color – an artist with a visual language of her own. ALEXANDRA NECHITA ALEXANDRA NECHITA ALEXANDRA “I didn’t even know who Picasso was. I just was ALEXANDRA NECHITA enjoying myself, and I started painting this way because I wanted to be different.” 1 3 5 2005 Alex's designs were chosen for a set 1997 2001 of legal tender commemorative At just eleven years old, In her hometown of coins entitled, “Peace Is the Only Alex was chosen as the Vaslui, Romania Option!” the designs were approved official artist for the 39th Alexandra had a school by Queen Elizabeth II whose effigy Grammy Awards.

  • JEFFREY A. BURKE Curriculum Vitae
    JEFFREY A. BURKE http://jeff-burke.com/ Curriculum Vitae Burke’s work in the arts and engineering explores how artists and storytellers can participate in shaping the means by which we make “digital media.” He explores how emerging technologies can be designed to serve expressive and social goals, and focuses on the rich opportunities for synthesis across disciplines such as performance, film and video, installation, architecture, and systems engineering. He has designed, managed and produced performances, software projects, new genre art installations and new facility construction in ten countries from 1999-2015, initiated and contributes to many university research projects, and publishes regularly. In his creative work and research, Burke has incorporated technologies such as game engines, embedded sensing, and mobile handsets into multidisciplinary projects informed by historical and contemporary artistic practice. Most recently, he has focused on the underlying architectures that support such work, as application team lead for the NSF-funded Named Data Networking future internet architecture project, a multi-campus research program started in 2010. Burke is currently the Assistant Dean for Technology and Innovation at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT), where his role is to develop and implement a strategy for advancing TFT as a global leader in interdisciplinary innovation at the intersection of new digital platforms, technology, visual storytelling, and performance. He is also the Co-Founder and Executive Director of UCLA REMAP, the Center for Research in Engineering, Media and Performance, a joint program of TFT and the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. REMAP’s core projects investigate the interrelationships among community, culture and technology and how emerging technology can support community development and cultural expression.
