Andria Alania painting on canvas (via SWNS)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.
Andria’s mom Mariam Jakhaia, a clinical psychologist from Tbilisi, Georgia, says his artistic development has been all-natural.
“His creativity and attention to detail seem to come instinctively,” she told SWNS news.
She recognized his talent when he was just a baby.
“At 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.
“One day he drew an owl from The Gruffalo (children’s book) and I realized he wasn’t just playing, he was intentionally recreating images.”
“He especially loves the sea, summer, and lush green landscapes—they frequently appear in his paintings, reflecting his fascination with the natural world and his joyful connection to it.”

“He had seen the sea, the sand, and palm trees and when we got home he painted it all perfectly from memory.

So far, Andria has created 14 paintings on canvases, which were purchased by his parents.
