Alexandra Nechita

Alexandra Nechita (1985- ) Romanian-American cubist and mural painter, Nechita began working in pen and ink at the age of two, graduating to watercolors by the age of five, and then to oils by the age of seven. Due to her raw talent, said to be comparable to that of Picasso and Matisse, Nechita was able to gain worldwide attention, and her career transcended to an unimaginable level for such an adolescent painter. Dubbed "Petite Picasso," Nechita works in the cubist modes of Picasso and Braque, but with an emphasis on "magical symbolism." To this day, she remains one of the most famous painters of the last three decades.
