Meet a talented boy who is creating impressionistic paintings of natural scenes from memory.
Now three-and-a-half years-old, Andria mixes his paints by himself and applies them to canvases, but his natural talent became clear when he recreated a seaside scene after a family holiday.
Despite never taking any art classes, the pint-sized prodigy instinctively blends colors and shapes, painting everything from landscapes to animals.
Andriaâs mom Mariam Jakhaia, a clinical psychologist from Tbilisi, Georgia, says his artistic development has been all-natural.
âHis creativity and attention to detail seem to come instinctively,â she told SWNS news.
She recognized his talent when he was just a baby.
âAt seven months old, I introduced him to paints in a playful way so he could mix the colors with his hands. By the time he was one, he was already holding crayons and brushes.
âOne day he drew an owl from The Gruffalo (childrenâs book) and I realized he wasnât just playing, he was intentionally recreating images.â
âHe especially loves the sea, summer, and lush green landscapesâthey frequently appear in his paintings, reflecting his fascination with the natural world and his joyful connection to it.â
Andria painting flowers on canvas (via SWNS)One of Mariamâs proudest moments was when Andria painted an entire ocean scene from memory.
âHe had seen the sea, the sand, and palm trees and when we got home he painted it all perfectly from memory.
SWNSâThatâs when I knew I had to invest in better materials for him.â
So far, Andria has created 14 paintings on canvases, which were purchased by his parents.
