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. The foreword is penned by the renowned Larry King. Her work has always reflected an expression of personal sentiments. This is a constant theme in the work…and one that continues to define the artist. This new body of work is no different as it comprehensively encompasses growth and transitions both as a woman, a mother, and humanist continually on a profound search for her higher purpose.
