Artistic prodigy Alexandra Nechita has not only captured the art world, which is hailing her "the ten-year-old Picasso" for her astonishing abstract paintings, but she is fast becoming the darling of the international media for her charismatic personality, uncommon beauty, and the yearning for worldwide peace expressed in her paintings.In December, when Alexandra exhibited paintings in the Perry Gallery in New York, international publicity began flooding in. First were articles in the London Times-Mirror and Sunday Times, then came invitations for a European tour and television features spanning five continents, from South Africa to Romania, Germany to Israel, Japan to Australia. Combining humor, unusual depth of vision, and a childlike charm, this "Mozart with a paintbrush" seems to speak a universal language, stirring both children and their parents, art critics and those who would otherwise never step into a gallery.Outside the Lines, showcasing fifty of Alexandra's recent works, will dazzle people around the world with the artist's brilliant color combinations, startling compositions, and her simple, moving narratives about the daily inspirations to express herself through painting.
