Aelita Andre (inset) and her abstract painting

Aelita Andre is said to be the youngest professional painter in the world, and has been compared to the likes of artistic giants Picasso and Jackson Pollock.
Her work is already commanding top dollar, with a Hong Kong collector last year shelling out $24,000 for one of her pieces.
Now her colourful paintings are on display at the Agora Gallery in Manhattan.
Gallery director Angela di Bello says Aelita, who produced her first meaningful body of work before turning two, is a talented artist.
"What's interesting about her work is that I also I find that it is abstract expressionism, but that she's also surrealist in the way she includes objects in her works and how she includes those objects," she told ABC America.
It seems creativity runs in the family, with Aelita's parents - Nikka Kalashnikova and Michael Andre - both artists in their own right.
And her father cannot wait to see what his daughter does next.
"So here she is completely and utterly innocent, just with an innocent eye almost coming to a canvas," he told ABC America.
"I'm looking at it from an opposite and thinking, 'let's see what she does'. I'm just so curious to see what somebody in that position produces."
Andre's solo exhibition, aptly named The Prodigy Of Colour, runs until June 25.
