Akiane, Amazing Child Artist
Posted By Ina Woolcott
Akiane was born on the 9th July 1994, in Mount Morris, Illinois, to her atheistic stay-at-home Lithuanian homemaker mother, and an American father, chef and dietary manager.she is an internationally recognised 14 year old prodigy, considered the only known child binary genius, in both realist painting and poetry. At age 4, she had a life-changing spiritual transformation, bringing the family to God. She began drawing at 4, and painting at 6, teaching herself and learning mostly from her own keen observation and study. At age 7 she began writing poetry and aphorisms - her poems often arrive fully conceived. The inspiration for her art and literature comes from her visions, dreams, observations of people, nature and God. She paints from imagination, reference materials and models. She considers her style Akianism -a universal blend of realism and imaginism.
She gets up at 4 a.m. 5-6 days a week to get ready to paint in the studio and write; works for about 4-5 hours each day. Often she works over a hundred to two hundred hours on a painting, producing 8 to 20 paintings a year. Usually many sketches are made before painting commences, and she works on one painting at a time. Akiane wants people to find hope in her paintings, and has the same goal with each painting: to be inspiration for others and to be the gift to God.
Having attended both public and private schools, she is now home-schooled with her four brothers, Delfini 16, Jean Lu 14, Ilia 5 years old and Aurelius, her new baby brother.
Akiane also speaks four languages: Lithuanian, Russian, English and Sign Language. Her favourite activities and hobbies include art, poetry, piano, reading and helping people.
Akiane’s biggest wish is “that everyone would love God and one another”. Her life goal is to share her love for God and people around the world.
