Akiane Kramarik’s Prince of Peace

Akiane Kra­marik is a con­tem­po­rary North Amer­i­can artist. Akiane’s mother is from Lithua­nia and her father is an Amer­i­can. Akiane Kra­marik is a child prodigy who started sketch­ing at four and paint­ing at the age of seven.  She is a self-taught artist and claims to have God as her teacher. Accord­ing to Akiane, the inspi­ra­tion for her art and lit­er­a­ture comes from God, her visions, dreams and obser­va­tion of peo­ple and nature. Akiane is also a poet, pianist and a human­i­tar­ian. She writes poetry for every one of her paint­ings. Money from her art exhibits and auc­tions go to fund many projects to help poor peo­ple, espe­cially chil­dren around the world.

Akiane Kra­marik is a real­ist painter. Her paint­ings are unique and extra­or­di­nary. I love all her paint­ings and my favorites include the Prince of Peace, Father For­give Them, Found and My Sight Can­not Wait
(her self por­trait). She is a great inspi­ra­tion to peo­ple every­where and a gift from GOD, our Father, to us. Please read below com­ments about Akiane’s paint­ings and poetry:

The Fine Art’s Phe­nom­e­non’ Spokesman Review — Spokane, Wash­ing­ton, United States
“…an 8 year-old prodigy’s paint­ings and poetry attract experts’ atten­tion. We are not aware of any other expert who has been able to offer a plau­si­ble expla­na­tion for how a per­son is so accom­plished to mas­ter this, when never afforded years of expe­ri­ence. Akiane is prob­a­bly the only visual arts prodigy to have mas­tered real­ism. Every other prodigy has mas­tered forms such as either cubism or abstrac­tion. Which means, frankly, that you don’t know if they made a mis­take. But real­ism is con­sid­ered the most dif­fi­cult to mas­ter. Akiane’s art is only one facet of what makes her so spe­cial. Her poetry is as much in her heart and soul as are her paint­ings. You can jus­ti­fi­ably call her an old soul in a young person’s body. One sees the expres­sion on the face she has brushed on the can­vas and then real­izes where it is com­ing from.”

Marina Koled­int­seva Ph.D. Pro­fes­sor, Uni­ver­sity of Mis­souri
“Akiane is an absolute artis­tic prodigy! One can hardly believe the works were painted by a small girl. Father For­give Them is an espe­cially strong paint­ing. Her cre­ation elec­tri­fies with the real­ism, the artis­tic sense, and the level of mas­tery, spec­tac­u­lar even for a adult artist. When I was first acquainted with the petite Akiane she was only five, and even then she amazed every­one with her abil­i­ties. I still to this day trea­sure the pen­cil sketches, includ­ing my por­trait and a squir­rel, live as live can be, that she gave me as a gift. And recently I was moved also by her poetry. In fact, I was so intrigued that I offered to trans­late her poetry into Russian.”

Alfred Gushchius Renowned Lithuan­ian lit­er­ary critic and poet
“It seems that these expres­sions are not those of a young girl, but of a mature poet whose apho­ris­tic and enig­matic think­ing come to her instantly. Hers is def­i­nitely a philo­soph­i­cal poetry, and our world lit­er­a­ture can be so proud of this new wun­derkind genius.”

Vladislo­vas Blin­trubas Dis­tin­guished Lithuan­ian poet
“Akiane is a lit­er­ary phe­nom­e­non in the his­tory of poetic art. I doubt there has ever been a lit­er­ary child genius of such matu­rity, lyri­cal vir­tu­os­ity, and spir­i­tual tran­scen­dence! Her rare gift will be engraved for ever in the his­tory pages of the world’s lit­er­a­ture. I see the cos­mic hope and mean­ing of life in her wisdom-saturated imagery. I am speechless!”

“We are all in total awe here, at this Russ­ian tele­vi­sion sta­tion! We com­pared Akianes’s extra­or­di­nary paint­ing Prince of Peace with the com­put­er­ized image taken from the Shroud Of Turin, that was hang­ing in my office. To our com­plete shock and mar­vel we found vir­tu­ally an exact match! It is a mir­a­cle and it must come from God! There are no words to describe how a lit­tle 8-year-old girl could por­tray such wis­dom, com­pas­sion and love in the eyes she painted. The tech­ni­cal and emo­tional details along with the visual strength in her paint­ings are astound­ing and stu­pen­dous! When I have a dif­fi­cult day, all I need to do is to look at her paint­ings. In her strik­ing self-portrait the light lit­er­ally comes forth from her…What a mis­sion on earth she car­ries! Bravo!”
