“Little Picasso” at Just 10 Years Old Makes Six Figures for Paintings
The fifth grader, Andres Valencias went from being unknown to an art phenomenon for his Surrealist-style paintings. Andres has received early-career recognition for his young artistic talents.
In June, Andres conducted a solo exhibition where 35 of his works were sold ranging from $50,000-$125,000. His mother, Elsa Valencia accompanied him to this event. ” My son is an artist but he is a kid first. “
Andres’ parents work to teach him how to give back, as some of his sales are donated to the AIDS charity group and Children’s charity Box of Hope.
Andres began his career at 4 years old and earned the names “Little Picasso” and “Art Prodigy”. He started by selling water color paintings to his family for $20.
Soon the news of his talent spread on social media and famous actors Sofia Vergara and Channing Tatum were the first t buy his fabulous pieces.
