- Lots of kids paint. But 12-year-old Aelita Andre is an established artist known for her abstract paintings inspired by everything from nature to music. Andre, who is from Melbourne, Australia, was just 2 years old when she had her first gallery exhibit. Since then, the painter’s work has been exhibited in cities around the world, including London, Hong Kong and New York City. She has sold paintings for as much as $30,000. Some people have called her a young Jackson Pollock. But Andre isn’t interested in being compared to other artists. She creating her own style.

I’m happy for her, but in some ways it makes me upset. There are so many fantastic artists out there which go unnoticed, despite having some breathtaking paintings that takes countless hours, which are creative and innovative. I really wish those artists one day could get the same amount of attention as this young girl has. They deserve so much more :(
Anuraxan I agree so much.
The best comment i’ve seen by far
This is EXACTLY how I feel.
You make a good point
I agree
" I want to be recognised for my own style" her style: S P L A T
Lmao no offense but her style is the exact stereotypical “modern art” or abstract art u see in a art museum or in a movie
Jeffrey Chen I mean yeah they look nice I guess
@@jeffrwy I mean,but it is like any one could make what she makes look nice too.
Lol yeah
Oh stop being toxic and jealous! She is amazing
I don’t want to be too mad at her, I’ll give her some credit, she knows to keep her hands out the paintings and to make sure the colors don’t get muddy, but her work selling for tens of thousands of dollars really goes to show that money and connections can do so much more for you than having actual skill.
Exactly.this shit doesnt require skills or talent.
@@rahanme7906you're right
The art world is just as plastic as Hollywood. Bunch of rich out of touch with reality types jerking each other off
@@DB-bk9tr best reply to a comment ever 😂
Ikr. Seeing those violin being painted scares me. Cause I bought mine from my own hard-earned money. I just cannot see my violin to be on those canvases.
As a Violinist, seeing the violin with paint on it was like a punch to the stomach
You don’t even have to be a musician to cringe
Anyways, let’s hope the Lingling wannabes assemble
Even resin won’t fix it lmao
But on the real note, like paint or even any liquid on my strings will annoy me real bad
Yes true💯it made me cringe 🙂
Agreed

That's terribly relatable :D

Ha ! 😂
As an artist that spends countless hours,I feel offended watching this video all she's doing is pouring colors on canvases and she gets recognition for it,im happy for her really but there are wayyy better artists than her like literally anyone that does more than splashing colors on canvases
potatolover Attackontitanislove it’s abstract I- that’s the point
Alyssa_ Popovich no you don’t understand. A lot of artists spent YEARS on perfecting their skills. And THIS GIRL. Just came out of nowhere and claimed that she’s good at art and shit
I know this sounds complicated, but these types of paintings, they put their thoughts, emotions, etc in them that’s why they're expensive.
I can accept her paintings because it does look like she puts her thoughts in them other then the banana tapped on a canvas is bullshit.
The art we probably all do is from style not really thoughts.
reality check okay she’s a kid too let a kid shine all artists are adults it gets annoying she deserves to paint and get popular
I get you yeah but I think you shouldn't get offended and I do agree with you some great artist are still unrecognized
Don't hate the little girl, hate the people who sugarcoat by saying she has a talent and capitalize on that. When you're rich a garbage artwork produced by the rich is consider worthy. Big salute to all artist who keep working on their passion with or without recognition, I hope you all guys get your opportunity to shine 💖
So true
Fr
What a marvelous example of how ridiculous the art world can be.
Rien I would say world and how corrupt it is, I've been watching old artists and there work of natural beauty and tearfully breathtaking, they captured the essence of time and beauty
Honestly Rien, I felt the same too. After spending hours and hours on paintings.. its so depressing to see a kid pouring some paint and calling it abstract art...I think its all about marketing.. nothing to do with quality. If this is art then every child in this world is an artist!
@@artanddesign8006 It has a deeper meaning and it's based on interpretation. You obviously don't understand that. Abstract art>normal art.
I know, when I was 9, I knew how to do shading and drawing some basic human facial features.
@@achyuththouta6957 oh please she was 2 years old when she made a painting and sold it at that time would she learn to walk or know the meaning of the world bro please u should see some art you tubers spend hours on hours quitting their job trying to improve more in CZcams
I'm feeling bad for those people who use too much effort painting, and still haven't been noticed.😐
No hate ya'll, but splashing paint everywhere is low effort. (I made my profile picture but not the background because im TERRIBLE at making backgrounds) She makes millions by splashing paint everywhere for 1minute and im over here making art for 1hours-3hours getting no money out of it :/ once again no hate . Edit: I updated my pfp
Misayo Glitter no offence but I think you need to practice more before trying to get money from your art..
@@clararose7934 true
Purple ivy yeah
April I’m just saying she’s making money off art that probably took under an hour..but yeah, my art is a little bad and I need to practice more because I barely do that anymore pqisjsksjendiwjsolzmd
Looks expensive. Not her paintings but the way she goes about it. LOL
Lol true
Oh come on it only takes about 100 paint buckets!
Her parents are the awesome one, maybe her mother ... she can turn child play into expensive art ... maybe because i'm an art-blind person 😗
I mean, money ain't a thing when you selling for 35K
LMAOOOOO
This is just prof that people have been afraid to tell someone their art is bad after ww2
LMAO this comment is so underrated
Pretty sure she's a descendant of the H-word and it only applies for her
OMG hahaha lol
LMAO
HAHAHA THIS IS SO DARK BUT I LOVE IT HAHAHA
She's got that "my parents are rich"-talent
So, if throwing paint at a canvas makes you an artist, does me throwing a tyre at a car make me a mechanic?
This comment needs more appreciation not that so-called artist lol
@Ani Dank yes but yes
You racist
Cyrsclin He has the confederate flag on his profile. It was the flag used in the civil war for the south to keep slavery. They lost and the union won. The confederate flag is terrible and it’s racist since that’s the meaning
Kayla Stokes I can tell you’re not American
No hate but honestly, there are plenty of very talented and hardworking people out there who do more and I think they deserve that recognition too. Abstract is nice and I think its great that she found her passion but come on.
I agree. She only got the attention because she's young
@@LiLi-xi2dl
And possibly bacause her parents are rich
Being rich is always the answer, no way would she have gotten recognition if she came from a non-rich family.
There are actual good abstract artists like Callen Schaub, Jackson Pollock (his paintings were a bit messy but they had a nice visual), and even a few of Van Gogh's paintings could be considered abstract.
I have a friend that does abstract but he does actual landscapes
“ I want to be known for my style” girl that’s toddler style .
I am 12 years old and I do a lot of art in my school. I try to use the least amount of resources I can so I don't waste money and Natural resources.
Seeing this girl paint 6 year old art, selling it for thousands wasting all that paint, painting over a beautiful violin and making such a mess breaks my heart.
I have seen much better 12 year old artists than this that go unrecognized. This breaks my heart even more.
Its difference between abstract and realistic art. Everyone sees abstract art differently. A lot of people here swear at the violin, but for others it can have a deeper meaning. Art is and will always be expensive. (Sorry for bad enghlish, english is not my native language)
@@annaburiankova8178 This is baloney. Take away 'deeper meaning' from most of the modern 'art' and you will be left with a pile of crap. Talent doesn't exist; what people call talent is actually a lot of work, knowledge and experience.
@@Robocop-qe7le But that's all abstract art is meant to do. Invoke meaning. If you take the sole purpose away from anything then ofc you're left with a pile of crap. There are two types of art, one that's commercial and one that's meaningful. Neither is better or worse than the other, it's just types like genres of movies. Commercial art is art that people buy as Christmas cards etc, meaningful art end up in museums and art critics take a look at them. If you don't like abstract art that's one thing but don't hate on the kid.
But I do agree about the talent being hard work comment.
@@ramenlover1727 you are right, seriously after watching this video I think my little cousin might be a artist
@@ramenlover1727 she is almost a lump. What does she know about emotion? Abstract art IS commercial just look at the (over)price.

1:43 “when i paint i usually think of the universe..”
her: *dumps a bucket of paint on the black canvas*
2:00 see this
Yes when she is 2 yrs old she understands what's emotions is
Really legit.
Every fucking artist ever. She's no different. Tout les mêmes. I don't get why she has her own gallery. Sure, I'm happy for her, mais je ne comprends pas why she's so rich and famous just for splashed colours that somehow morph into an image of something deep in a 40 year old man's mind. As an aspiring animator for Sony, this really makes me mad. If everyone in my art school put their pieces in a gallery, we could pay for college.
I'm 12. You need to look at it threw 12-year-olds eyes. No. 4-year-olds eyes. She has somehow been able to keep the imagination that she had as a very young child. The thing is, her paintings mean a lot more than just some paint thrown on a canvas. Paintings she has created give me motivation. It inspires me to become a better person. In her paintings, I can see rivers, and fires working together. That is just one example. You have to think. Do water and Fire typically get along? No. But in her universe, they do. Every child has a universe. They may outgrow it. For me, it is taking a long time. As well as her. And that is a good thing. But, in her universe, everyone gets along. I'm sure that is for most children's universes. (Don't hide the world from young children, they are very good at eavesdropping and know probably know more than you think.) I can see why you think it is just paint splashed on a canvas, but you have to look closer, through a young child's eyes. Look at everything through a child's eyes. What do you see? The world as it is? or do you see a magical world? I hope you see a magical world. Pass this along, please. Especially young children. They will outgrow it, and when they do, it's too late.
Ahhahaahhahahahah
She’s trying to express that the world is a splat of shit
In the art market/ world, you need to have a network to get recognition, I'm pretty sure her parents had a network of people in the business and took their chance. My art teacher tells me the same and he introduces me to many of his friends from the industry so it makes things easier for me personally to get my work out there.
I'm timidly gonna offer the fact that I did find her paintings beautiful. I'm aware of most people's concerns and rage in the comments (I mean I'm an artist as well), but I'm just gonna put it out there that I rly like her paintings.
Me too. I found them liberating, actually. Watching her made me feel calm and inspired, and then the end result of colors felt spectacular. I would actually like to own a few of her pieces.
I’m kind of surprised by this comment section. I’m also surprised that people say she put no thought into it. It’s a short video, and the only glimpses into her thoughts was when she says she often thinks about space when she’s painting.
I have been studying art for 7 years, and dear, sorry to break it to you, but that is a simple waste of paint. Modern art is supposed to represent something, while that is just...
Yup true
Yeah
Exactly
This is like someone farting and some critic calling it music.

Zak the PENGUIN shut up gayass
@Zak the PENGUIN there was no reason to be sassy
Here is my opinion:
Abstract art isn’t just throwing paint on a canvas, it’s gotta have a feeling/emotion/meaning to it. If she could explain what meaning it represents then I would consider it art, but if you’re just recklessly throwing paint on a canvas then probably not.
exactly
I disagree. Anyone could give some bullshit about the meaning or feeling about a ahem.. 'piece'. Symbols and flags for example are not art in the sense usually referred. If they were called as such that would be just as bad. They hold their own purposes. Splattering paint may look good on a wall, but that's about it. As for 'Abstract Art' that should be about 'Simplified shapes and figures' to represent something alternatively you can have a kewl symmetry/asymmetry going on but I'm pretty sure that's something else.
@@chadliampearcy ok 👍 I respect your opinion :)
Exactly
I'm an art student in college, it's even more than that, its an evolution of knowledge of art, expertising, understanding the form the technic, the space and all, it's not just paint and canvas and being mad or happy.
if children from poor families had unlimited access to as much paint as this girl has, then many artists would be born. I did not have such a good start in life, proper care and interest. I have a talent for painting, however, I was doomed to use what I had. the cheapest paints, crayons, anything. Today I am 31 years old and I am proud that I have persevered and that I create art on my own terms and that I have my own unique style (not splashing). I'm not known, popular. But I have incredible knowledge and empathy which I gained from my hard childhood. I wish all children from difficult homes who take care of themselves and their talent. Don't give up and don't be fooled by CZcams material like this. She is not someone special. It was the people who made her special. Remember that EACH of us is unique! Everyone deserves the best!

I think the reason she gets the money is because this style of art is easy to perfect while other styles such as anime or even more advanced realistic drawing is hard to make it look good.
Derpy Pikachu abstract is actually harder than surrealism or anime, because you can’t just “splat it around and ta da sell it” no, you need to put in emotion, and hard work. Some people don’t see what’s in abstract art, so I can’t expect people to know the significance of abstract art.
How do the art gallery people know whether the painting is hung upside down or no?
Maybe they know the top as the opposite side of the signature? Idk if she signs her works differently, though.
@Lynx _76 fuck off with the woooosh and your subreddit linking. Besides, Rahim's comment can be seen as either a joke or a legit question, and there's no real way to tell on the internet
Also even if it was a joke r/woooosh wouldn't even be relevant.

@@saltysandy5879 I mean, you don't know if they meant it as a joke or not, so you could assume it either way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
guys, there is no point in being bitter.
if your goal is fame, take marketing, sales and management classes, not art classes.
art is what you put out there, not what you yourself or other people see. if you put a lifes dedication into perfecting something, but a childs painting is trumping you, that might be because people, you yoursef and so many wish to be as free in what we do as this girl is. and that is a spirit of time and context.
if you chose the struggle for perfection to be your sacrifice, you should own it, despite the attention that is given to you.
yall abstract art isnt just splashes of colors and nothing more. theres more to it than that, there’s emotions, thoughts, feelings, etc. and what shes doing is definitely far from it
There's not skill in it though. I bet you plenty of musicians put their raw emotions to tapping their pencil on the table. It doesn't mean people would listen to it, it doesn't mean it takes talent or skill. Honestly, I didn't know having rich parents is a talent. sorry.
It is just a splash and waste of paint
IDC! We want some good replication if not something made with actual skills and talent!
as you said, far from art

I can’t take her seriously. In my humble opinion I think that any serious artist must study art history and artworks and learn foundational skills and knowledge wether it may be self-taught or university taught. Only then when you know what was, are, and can be art, is when the Artist, can make deconstructed, or expressionist, or dadaist art that is VALID as fine arts and has value to me personally, and should be considered as such by the masses and the art world to have intrinsic value and translate to monetary and historical significance.
Considering aforementioned, the “art” this 12 year old person is making is nothing more than doodles of a privileged child whose parents are able to provide her expensive archival quality materials such as a workspace, canvas, paints, brushes, etc.. that VALID artist use to make fine art.
Everyone in the comments is saying how many underrated artists there are, and they make amazing artwork that nobody even notices. I agree

It always makes me chuckle when I see "abstract" paintings. We as humans put value on something that is basically a mess and call it artistic and valuable. No hate to this girl or anyone else who makes a living with this kind of art. If you can get someone to give you thousands of dollars for your work go for it!! That's the part that is the most amusing to me. 😂
This goes to prove the point that a kid can draw an abstract and proceed to sell them for millions... And it's not even a joke anymore, this is what modern day art has become to.
"I want to be known by my own style"
I'm sorry but you can't do that. Because everyone has that "style" of unthinkingly pouring paint onto a canvas. It's not a unique style.
And you shouldn't be compared to Pollock. He knew what he was doing, with controlled accidents, specific tools and actions and movements. You do not do that.
To everyone one else hating on this girl. Art is art, I don’t get abstract painting but I. Know one thing This isn’t just splashing paint on a canvas it comes from the heart and every painting has a meaning even if u can’t see it . Some people can spend ages on a painting a it could be garstly others could spend a day or 2 on a painting at it be beautiful ( and vise versa ) She enjoys what’s she’s doing, is happy, and her fame isn’t turning her into a bratt isn’t that the only thing that matters that she’s, kind, caring, happy and bubbly?
I am a 10 year old and I draw realistic pictures and I think this is not art,she’s spreading paint onto a canvas whit the heart,but it doesn’t take too mutch work,she’s only an accessory for “modern art” that’s in my opinion is a huge piece of trash overvaluated,nontalented thing >:l
Thank you
She is only 12, I mean she is very young to judge her as a grow up artist with years of studies of art and history, she probably doesn't have a serius proyect behind her paintings, now she is only a kid who like doing this, maybe in the future if she continues in this she will get better an better but for now why judge her? Whats the problem if there are people who likes and buys her works? If she guilty for the failure of better artist than her?

I understand everyone's perspective of other children who may have more skill and talent than her who deserve the recognition, but we all have our own paths and wherever that leads us, is part of our journey and becomes our story. Everything is in flow and the design is all perfect. How beautiful it is for her parents to encourage her daughters dream, so many parents do the complete opposite. This is how children become emotionally intelligent and become the movement we need in this world to make positive changes. The fact that anyone can criticize this, should tell you so much of what has happened to you in your life and where your mind directly goes to.
Modern art world is really confusing for me. A girl basically splashing paint all over a cavas gets recognition but a artist who has perfected their paintings and drawings for years only get the recognition if they hit a lottery. I looked into her channel, she has synthesisa or some condition that turns music into a form in her brain or something. so basically more than hard work it’s more of talent. Also half her life and art is controlled by her parents.

ZING! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎯🎯🎯🎯
Why am I sacrificing my sanity and time and sleep and everything in a design course while this kid is out here throwing around paint and being heralded and glorified as a goddamn prodigy. Things in this world make absolutely no sense and this is absurd and ridiculous. Like if you wanna treat her like she's doing something great out here with her "abstract" act, sure be my guest but then you're being hypocritical if someone else with no "status" does the same and gets criticised for making a mess or wasting paint or that they're just throwing some paint on a canvas. Like I'm sorry but this was so maddening that I had to come here from the ad I saw it on to leave a comment about it. It's just complete insanity. It gives me brain aneurysms trying to even accept it. This is such bull crap and we all know it.
Edit: forgot to mention her slaughter of violins for her little load blowing "art works". Please, those things were meant to be used to create something actually beautiful and that actually requires actual skill and/or talent. So don't waste them like that.
Edit 2: I'm not a violinist like some of the people in the replies here are, but I am a percussionist, so I do relate in some sense too. The absurdity of watching painstakingly crafted works that were meant to create the art of music, (an actual art, too) be Frankensteined into such abominations. This is all truly a spit in the face to artists and violinists/musicians that actually invest time and effort and money into perfecting their art because we are held to some level of standards at least.
"Load blowing artworks"😂😂😂
ガチャCDVAn Your comment pisses me off cause art is meant to use things to create works, are you stupid, I understand your POV as a violinist, but think as an artist, who cares what is used, you weren’t gonna use that violin were you, idiot, if art was restricted to using a set amount of materials then most art wouldn’t exist today
Then you’re clearly doing something wrong as an artist, you’re too focused on money, the problem is you my dude
@@jacobluatuanuu8910 Actually, violins were actually meant for music. I understand what youre saying, but cant she just paint a violin? Isnt it better to give a violin to someone talented with no money for it?
And the art world is getting lazier and lazier. Someone tapes a banana to a canvas and its 350 thousand dollars? Last time, art used to be actual talent, and sure, abstract artists like her can claim their "deep" meaning, but their art is still just random paint splashes. Heck, i could make something as good as hers right now
The main reason why she's got her own gallery is because her parents are supportive and recognize her art as profit. It's bullshit and I'm already neck deep in student loans just for a fucking theme park designing job. For 20 goddamn years I loved art. I never did anything else. I didn't even see the sun because I wanted to go big, and I worked so hard just for this kid to splash paint and earn so much money. It's so infuriating, and her idea of "making the world sing by destroying violins" was done so many times already in the 18th century. I'm just done. Merde, I wish I could get those years back
I've seen a piece on her years ago. Oh god, I'm really sorry to say it and I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings, but she has not improved at all. It was splattered paint then and it is now. I'm not against modern art in general, but this isn't art. That's a waste of paint.
I've been holding art classes for mentally impaired people and they are creating way better pieces. Seriously.
Her parents and the art industry make her think what she does is a skill, an ability.
This is a sure recipe for a huge and early quarterlife crisis.
She's literally fingerpainting and throwing paint on a canvas. No talent necessary.
@@juando494 i bet most of us can't do it because we dont have the money to afford the paint
Agreed. This is ridiculous.
SHE IS TRASH, THATS NOT ART THATS FUCKING HORROR
@@penguinusername2490 too expensive
This girl really made it. You know you made it when you got grown people crying in the damn comments about how you not talented lol. Leave this little girl alone. Let’s just love each other and be happy for her. What she is doing is art and no one here has the authority to say otherwise cuz there is no real definition of art.
FINALLY PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. THANK YOU EVERYONE, WHO THINKS THIS ISN'T ART AN IT DOESN'T DESERVE SUCH RIDICULOUS PRICES.
This is just stupid. The other day I saw a painting with a red stripe sell for a million.
Hacking tutorials to me it looks like someone fell over with a bucket of paint
Then you are clearly not her target audience. Move on
It's because there's a philosophical idea supporting it thematically. But hers are just laying paint on a canvas without reflecting on the prior movements in art history.
Hacking tutorials
No you did not lol
Is it’s that simple, why didn’t you do it before?
It looks like 90% of the paint ends up on the floor. What a waste.
Some people enjoy it, it’s just taste man. She can probably paint better than you and me anyway.
@@ottolehmann5286 their just saying, put the paint on the canvas instead of the floor, ya doofus. Nothing about skill.
Jackson pollocks studio looked the same
Van gogh was ooor to his bones, he still put paint on his painting so thick and texturous to make it feel more dynamic, instead if applying thin layers and sit on his paints for as long as possible.
Art is about expression and exoressing yourself.
But also, fine art has become too easy
Edit: fine art is sensationalism in this day and age
@@p_a_t_h6237 Pollock and Van Gogh had classical training and could paint in many different styles. Art is subjective, but people can spot garbage when they see it. I don't object to calling the girl an artist, but she's certainly not a painter.
@@DegreesOfThree bro stop gatekeeping painting lmao tf chill
This is NOT abstract art, this is splashing paint on a huge canvas. This girl doesn't deserve this much credit. There are artists out there, creating wonderful paintings, and getting little or no credit for them.
If she is really an abstract painter, can she sketch and paint in realistic style? Even Picasso and other REAL abstract painters practiced humans and animals before they painted other pieces, I did also. My name is Magdalena, I'm 11 years old artist from Poland and I'm so sad looking at the fake talent noticed. To everyone who think I'm hating right now - I'm so happy for Aelita, but there are other fantastic young artist unnoticed. Maybe they haven't got a huge painting studio, but they practice, practice, practice.
YT is not for kids, but I agree with you.
I guess rich parents is a talent now.

Yepp
Damn true!..👍
Like I mean, to buy all that paint and most of it go to waste. PLUS to clean up.
Just for this 12 year old's art that looks like it was made by a 7 year old.
I agree with you
As an artist, Great big story should had supported people with ACTUAL art talents that go UNRECOGNISED
(Edit: Great Big Story dosent posts videos anymore*)
Dont usually write comments, but i wanted to point something. Art is supposed to represent something. THAT is not EXACTLY art. Spilling paint on a canvas is not art. I dont even want to hear how much they spend on paint cans. There is a lot of way better art that I can understand. For her paintings, i cant understand a single thing about it..
Im not trying to be rude, but again, i just wanted to point something out
Edit: by the way, i edited the comment so i can make this comment make more sense. Also, i do not hate her. I am proud of her but i just do not understand exactly why.
Your speaking facts 👏👏
Well sad padre
To everyone one else hating on this girl. Art is art, I don’t get abstract painting but I. Know one thing This isn’t just splashing paint on a canvas it comes from the heart and every painting has a meaning even if YOU can’t see it 🙄😠. Some people can spend ages on a painting a it could be garstly others could spend a day or 2 on a painting at it be beautiful ( and vise versa ) She enjoys what’s she’s doing, is happy, and her fame isn’t turning her into a bratt isn’t that the only thing that matters that she’s, kind, caring, happy and bubbly?
Peach sorry nobody can’t understand your comment cause nobody except you speaks complete bs
@PotterHead yes the pieces that she made might have a meaning but if so, it fails to convey it. It might have a very deep meaning into it but, what most people see is just a splash of paint. And also, what the painting that she did when she was a baby convey?? And also it’s just disappointing how they featured somebody like her rather than people who developed their style for years?? To be honest though, she still have time to improve, maybe she should try to draw realism or maybe cartoons. When I see her art I don’t see any personality or meaning of it unless it’s just paint being splashed all over the place.
Most parents will stop the child when they try to spill the whole can of paint, but luckily, her parents provide enough freedom and resources for her to nurture her artistic mind. She is lucky.
Gotta admit you need money and connections to be recognized. In her case her parents are supportive I don't know their circumstances in life, but hey atleast she likes what she's doing
she should try exploring different mediums since she’s basically been doing the same thing like forever
That’s exactly what people who paint landscapes do. Are you seriously saying that to someone who makes modern art?
True. I’m trying and exploring all different mediums.
oh wait,she cant,all she do is splat
@@09.huynhkhactanminh50 She isn't just going *SPLAT* , she is picking the colors that go well together, making sure they don't mix, and pouring it into the canvas!

We spend so much time and energy with our art and then there’s this kid. I know it’s not right to be offended but I can’t help to be offended by this vid lol.
No, no- I’m with you.
I feel the same
Same tho 😫
I feel that bro 😢
Same here 👏👏I am also 12 yrs but I don't like abstract art... What I think is that my painting is 100 times better then her...i am not rude but that's what I think
This proves that if you have rich parents, then you can be easily famous.
All these great stories about young artists they always do abstract why can’t we find one that does realism
We can't even find surrealism. Her art is even barely passing as abstract, there are much better abstract artists with pieces with meaning.
Realism is considered worthless. Nothing you couldn't do with a camera and a filter.
I know shes pretty young and she has some experience with these types of paintings, but I mean come onnnnn. There are so many artists out there who try really hard to make a piece look great and want their art to be shown to others but sometimes they can’t. It’s not fair that people who are at a higher skill level in art don’t get their art shown. There are people who study years of art and know how to make something look correct but all she’s doing is pouring paint on a canvas. I feel like she should actually learn about art instead of presenting a messy canvas in a museum.
And she rlly do be wasting violins those things are expensive..
@Nu n exactly
@Nu n same thing but im 12 the same age she is and tbh her art is just trash cuz her art has changed even a DECADE later
Wow uh why are you guys being bitter?-
@@ALEKSIS3 She was good for a 2 year old but now a decade has passed and she is still at the same level of a 2 year old.
As a violinist this is the most heartbreaking thing I can see we need Twoset violin for this!

I am a string instrument player too, but not a violin (guitar, to be exact)
I feel the same pain you violinist share, and I'm sure every other musicians too.
Suzuhu omg im looking for this comment haha
the more I think about it, the more seeing that violin hurts
That poor violin :(
What a wonderful story of pure creativity and vision! I know that Aelita witll have a lifetime of colorful expression as she expands and grows! Fun!
Abstract art is not just scribbles of paint or pencil, but showings of feeling, composition, vunerability, etc.. Her work doesn't have any of that.
It's heartbreaking to see how many amazing artists out there can't even make a living with their stunning art while this girl gets so much recognition for playing with paint.
Bruh its called abstract art. It holds a meaning and not all paintings have to be like the usual. Why yall acting like you know everything, its honestly embarassing. Other artists deserve recognition too i know but just be happy for her. You dont have to like her but you also do not have to throw in hate for her artstyle. Literally, does no one even see the meaning? An artist has their own ways, stop judging it.
@@cerineyathea1808 there’s no meaning you delusional kid, if there is anything id like you to tell me. What meaning did the « painting » she made when she was one have?
@togetherforever82. why are you calling me delusional for liking such a masterpiece? you obviously have no imagination AT ALL. Her art revolves around nature itself or about the universe, she uses art to portray her own imagination about the world. You need to look more deeper into things tbh, go search her up and youll see how good of an art it is. If u see no meaning, get yourself a colorful mind, you need it.
@@cerineyathea1808 it really is not a masterpiece, she takes a handful of pain then splashes it onto a canvas, if she likes it thats fine, but she shouldn't get more recognition then people who work harder to make good art
@@cerineyathea1808 I respect your opinion but can you please tell me or explain to me what is the meaning of her abstract art, because I here that there is a meaning to all abstract arts, so could you please point out what is the meaning of her art, because I don't understand it.
Pretty cool and all, but tbh, her art doesn't look that good. It just looks like a whole bunch of paint poured on a canvas and framed..
h e l l o t h e r e. And that’s exactly what it is lmaooo. I’m gonna be honest, she doesn’t deserve all of her money and fame when anyone can do what made her famous in the first place. It’s a bit idiotic.
@@loll1265 ik. Its super weird.
h e l l o t h e r e. Literally lmaoo
There is abstract painting with MEANINGS on it and some painters put their feelings or mind in to that painting, but this girl got a little bit lost tho' I mean she's like painting like pour a little bit paint here, or there. And tada! She has her masterpiece.
alex b ahahah I mean she’s doing what she loves to do, but I don’t see the meanings, and I don’t think she does either😂
I'm also a painter and self taught since 6 years old to be honest if my parents would support me I'd be the same popular as this girl,If this art is abstract I don't really understand this sort of art, if splashing paint is art I'm going to do that! :)
I gotta give it to this kid, she definitely hit the right place at the right time, but a lot of artists out there, myself included, just get nothing despite all the work we put into our pieces, abstract is a form of art but it really is a low skill art in my opinion
She's not why you're struggling to get money.
Did any other musicians cry when they saw the violin
I really hope she used a super cheap one off of Amazon, like the ones for 100 dollars that don't sound good
Yes
I painted a violin once and you bet your souls I didn’t do it like that. It was a gift for my sister that ended up actually getting some publicity, but all under the name of my 10 year old cousin. So the world saw my work but thought it was done by this ten year old. No. Ya know what she did? She took a picture. I was even holding it and giving her tips because I like to take pictures!! Sorry for the rant, yes I did use a cheap violin, but I mean with the way she was playing with them, she doesn’t play violin. So why should you paint something that you don’t understand?
Clara M
I feel sorry for you. Do they still think she did it?
@@claram3132 that sucks
I'm really sorry
Yes I’m just imagining how the paint built up on the poor strings.
I’m happy for her and all, but as someone who spends hours and even days drawing art in my own style and trying new techniques and different ways like digital art or traditional art, I almost find this sad. Sad because she drew the same way when she was 9 months old and her family encouraged her to continue like that and now she draws exactly the same. This isn’t how to paint, girl. This isn’t talent. Just wasted paint.
lazy cookie I feel like it’s because she’s a cash cow that makes money for the family :(
i guess you are a useless artist after all if you do not see the inherent worth in abstract painting. it's an entire field, you can't just plaster paint everywhere and call it a day. whatever form of art is a SKILL, and believe it or not critics, painters and those in touch with the art will feel if your painting is soulless and you just poured some paint. does that mean you're better than jackson pollock and andy goldsworthy because their work looks like something anyone can do and "worthless" because they didn't work as hard as you? what a load of crap. no art is ever easy, NO ART. she has spent ten years and will spend more years perfecting her craft, and if people see her work as something important and you don't that's on you. it doesn't matter whether you're michelangelo reborn or you're a fanartist, what matters is that it came from YOU and no one else. only you have that unique vision and perspective, therefore it has value. i can go on and throw art theories all day as this isn't a new discussion, but i suggest you stop invalidating other people's work simply for your own ego. you're an artist yourself, you should know better than that. i do not mean to berate you or put you down, just offering some enlightenment.
Anya Co dude you really think a 1 year old could draw like a professional she literally just stuck a violin and painted over it with some colour please explain the such thoughtful process behind that?
Anya Co I don’t have enough time or sanity to read what you wrote but some art is significantly harder to do than other art? Splashing paint on a canvas takes around 10 minutes at most, drawing a detailed realistic drawing or something in a unique style that’s new takes hours and even days. Also yes, it is on me that I don’t enjoy it. that’s why I made a comment with my opinion, not everyone’s.
Oh yeah yeah Sub2pewds it’s what inspired her and her creative thought proses of bringing it into the world that creates the art has much more worth. There’s a reason why critiques exist, if they see a painting or art form worth noticing and in this case abstract painting, then it will be recognized. Some artists work before hand in the old times is much” more simpler than abstract art practically just draw a blank canvas and it was taken in as art in the public, but that was in the old times. Now many artists have gone modern such as painting in their own styles, do digital art or anything else. Although some still paint as the artists in the old times draw, that’s what some critiques look for in a modern world. Art has it’s own evolution proven by how Pollock has create an artwork and has been reintroduced in a fresh new way by this 12 year old. And i think that’s what the critiques are looking for. That’s why the artists that works hard in every single detail in making art has a lack of recognition (maybe it lacks certain style or something from the critiques point of view). And i’m not saying all critiques are like this, just some, and this is just my opinion don’t give me flames just because of if.

Art is a business, of connection, influence, media and politics, and not just about painting creatively and well... It's a business, within academies and art rooms. When this other side is not known, the artist falls into the feeling of injustice

I agree that her "paintings" don't have artistic value or convey any feelings as a bystander.
just because it's "abstract" doesn't mean it has to look like someone who had explosive diarrhea on a canvas.
I never understood how they could value her art over countless of other people who also did the same kind of abstract art. Shoot where’s my money at??? Where’s yours???

I can’t believe all the negative comments. Sounds like jealousy that this young girl is selling her art and others aren’t. I’m an artist and I paint for fun.I’m happy just to sell enough art to pay for my supplies, and rarely do. if I could make a career out of it I don’t know if I would. Art is what I do to relax and de-stress. The minute I start trying to sell my art and make a living out of it, it’s no longer fun for me. I don’t judge another artist who chooses to sell their work and make a career out of it. This young girl is incredibly talented and blessed to have exposure that she has. Abstract art looks like it’s easy to duplicate but it’s much more than just splashes of paint on a canvas to the artist.
I’ve seen things far better than these scribbles, I feel like kids around her age who can actually draw especially that draw realism perfectly deserves this kind of attention rather than bunch of paint smudges on canvas. It’s painful to see all that canvas and paint go to waste.
Can we just for a minute appreciate the great marketing behind this child? I wish my parents believed in my talents as much as hers did! And were savvy enough to put it to work before I even understood I'm actually an "abstract painter". I mean this story is not about Aelita and her talent, this story is about the marketing talent and skills of her parents. That's what really should be praised here.
Also the fact that they were probably pretty well off, I mean, her parents are ok with her wasting like, a dozen gallons of paint for a painting, and her mom was able to get her into a gallery, there’s no way she not at least upper middle class.
The real mastermind talent is her parents.
@Alexis Martinez try different type of talking, maybe you cab be more nice
That's true!
@Alexis Martinez she's not taking requests or commissions, she is making art then putting it up for sale. The people interested will buy it
I bet cleaning that entire room is more impressive.
I think we are all in agreement this child's art success has been manufactured by her well connected and affluent parents. I don't question her talent. There are thousands of very talented artistic children but only one who have parents motivated to ensure their daughters success in the art world. And frankly when dealing in contemporary art, it has a lot to do with who you know and what they are willing to pay for the art. It makes me think maybe regular artist should promote their art as the work of a child and maybe they will get more media pick-up from it!
This gave me so much courage to keep painting
As I'm watching this, it makes me kind of mad. Imagine how much money she has invested just paint cans, and violins she won't use at all when she literally makes $35k per painting. Honestly, critics nowadays will pay for anything. If they could get a hold of Picasso's sweat, or da Vinci's snot, you know where their money is going to. But the fact she literally splashes paint on a canvas, ruin violins to put on the painting, and has the audacity to call it her "talent". I get she painted since she was 9 months old, but I feel like at some point, she's going to realize that she wasted SO much materials just for a painting that looks like a picture from a mom's fridge that her 4 year old made of a bear that looks like a giant turd. She is wasting violins, which by the way, if you don't play an instrument like I do, but my brother was in orchestra and played violin for 2 years, violins cost at least $200 or even more. She blows her money on resources for just splatters and ruined instruments. I think she will learn how to draw characters or even landscapes instead of splashing paint on a canvas, going to another country, doing the show, and calling it a day. Soon enough, she will make a "painting" that looks similar to another painting she recently made and she won't make profit. If she doesn't take art school, and that happens, she's done. Her fame will die out. Her resources will be overstocked and she will waste money over paintings that look the same. Sorry for this long-ass comment, its just that this made think about prices and how much paint is being wasted. Likes are not needed, considering you probably read this whole comment, or not, idc, and I wasted your time. Agree, disagree, idc.
I agree I was think about this too
Kurt 'Clout' Cobain I mean if she bought the violins its okay since everyone can do whatever they want with stuff they buy but yea its dumb
I agree
I USE THE VIOLIN RARELY BUT YOURE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
I totally agree I mean I think anyone can splash paint on a canvas and call it a "painting"

Cause it is getting very fucking annoying. Like, we get it. More artists out there deserve their money and fame, but honestly if the rich people want to buy crap like that then let them have it. I also hope they are referring to traditional art, cause digital art is just a printed picture so it should be less of a value. And they are not referring to anime and fanart, cause no one is going to buy that and hang it unless you're a rich anime fan.

Honestly, is so sad for those who can actually paint
I use watercolor and I'm still learning.. but seeing her use paint like that is physically painful. then those poor violins!
Really painful
As someone who works 20 hours a week as an oils portraiture artist, it's actually not sad at all. Someone who paints for passion is someone who paints for passion whether the work they create "looks like something" or it doesn't. What I find sad is that people like you degrade genuine expression and self exploration.
Not all paintings need to be complex
Its called abstract art and it portrays a story behind it. All you see is scribbles but it holds a deep meaning y know. Stop judging her style of art

This kind of art to me is like a progression. Paint splattering is more of a learning experience for the artist, seeing how paint works with other paints in new ways. I don't knock it, but there really isn't a "professional" paint splatterer
