Art Discovery Contest - Romania

Great proposal from @awispa ! That being said, below a brief presentation of Alexandra Nechita and her work! Great results and a truly inspiration for all of us!

Alexandra Nechita (born August 27, 1985) is a Romanian American cubist painter and philanthropist. She was dubbed the "Petite Picasso" by the media and the art community and is widely acclaimed for her paintings and vision of art.

At the age of two, she was working with pen and ink, and by five with watercolors. By her seventh birthday, oil and acrylics were her tools. She had her first solo exhibition at age eight, at the public library in Whittier, Los Angeles County. In 1995, at the age of ten, Nechita was taken to Paris to work at the Mourlot Studios. In the same year, she became the youngest artist to sign with International Art Publishers.

Nechita has been a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show and has appeared with numerous celebrities, including Bill Clinton. Her talent and perceived similarities to Pablo Picasso led to her being known as the "Petite Picasso.

In November 1999, Nechita was selected by the World Federation of United Nations Associations to lead a Global Arts Initiative involving more than 100 nations. Her artwork has been sold and displayed at various locations in the world and her collectors include Ellen DeGeneres, Alec Baldwin, Oprah Winfrey, Melissa Etheridge, Lee Iacocca, Calvin Klein, Whoopi Goldberg, Little Richard and Paul Stanley of the rock group Kiss. The theater at her high school, Lutheran High School of Orange County is named after her.
