“I have a cat that I love; he has eyes bluer than the sky and fur as white as snow. “Soft Velvet Cat”  portrays the human attachment, love, and care for animals. The painting also represents my admiration for everyone who devotes their love and time for animals. 

The cat is being embraced by a human. You can tell how furry and cuddly the cat is by the thickness in the texture that I’ve used to portray this effect.

Alexandra Nechita began drawing at the age of two. At seven, Alexandra was painting with oils and acrylics, and her first exhibit was a one-woman (child) show held at a Los Angeles public library when she was just eight years old.

Alexandra’s talent was instantly recognized as capacity crowds came to see her amazing and often monumental paintings. After seeing her art, the press labeled her “The Petite Picasso.” She attracted the attention of art critics and the media who began telling the world about this rarest of child prodigies – an artist who had mastered drawing and color, an artist who had created a visual language of her own, in a unique, lyrical, figurative, abstract cubist manner, an artist who had only recently turned nine years old.

Alexandra, works in the cubist modes of Picasso and Braque, but with an emphasis on “magical symbolism.”
