Artist Statement: How lucky we are to have the space and freedom to voice our standing? How selfish it is to choose not to? It is our duty to speak up with audacity and courage, and to offer a voice to the voiceless, a helping hand to the less fortunate, a song to the song-less. Sing For Hope promotes all this and more. Through this incredible program, we are reminded that our communities can only be uplifted through art, music and people who are equally aligned and encourage one another to stand up, loud and proud!
Born in Romania, Alexandra Nechita immigrated to the United States at one and a half years old. She began drawing as a toddler. At seven she was working with oil paints and acrylics, and the following year she held her first solo exhibition at a local Los Angeles Library. Alexandra exploded onto the scene at the age of nine. Her talent was instantly recognized and art critics and the media began telling the world about this rarest of child prodigies, “Petit Picasso,” a master of line and color and a visual language of her own.
