A Conversation with Two Geniuses of Beauty and Art: Anastasia Soare and Alexandra Nechita
In Preparation for Iconic Sculpture Launch in Beverly Hills
Two masterpieces united by the oldest Latin Romanian ancestry joined hands in Beverly Hills, and live on LALA [Los Angeles] Magazine's Instagram to interview each other. For those who have grown to admire their legacy, an audience approximately in the millions, this causal interview is only a ripple effect of the millennial renaissance which these two women artists began creating decades ago, maybe even at the same time. Beauty artist Anastasia Soare, Founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills and 'Petite Picasso' Alexandra Nechita opened their studios and hearts for a glimpse into their creative process. By now their success stories have become a new European-American cultural movement. Beautiful, smart, bold and wild enough to challenge the general visual IQ. For new audiences in attendance, we were there just in time. Others, the more vintage cultured admirers, have been following them for decades across the world.
Alexandra Nechita is the child genius who by the age of eleven had completed 16 solo gallery showings and was soon heading to Paris to further her mastery. Abstract cubist figures of doves and the human spirit beyond the understanding of most children, named her a Petite Picasso. It was as if Pablo Picasso's legacy imprinted on her little hands and a decade after his passing continued. As the renowned proverb says, every master will surpass its professor. It couldn't be any truer in how beautifully and magically the two Picassos stories still entwine today.
Nechita's nine-foot-tall Love Anatomy bronze sculpture will unveil on Burton Way's Beverly Hills next month, also the place that she proudly calls her hometown. Imagined by a new Romanian-American generation, her sculpture will sit in the world's entertainment capital of Hollywood to embrace the truest story of diversity. In many ways encouraged to become the reflection of a newly imagined Oscar too.
The neo-cubist sculpture shaped during a time of transition for Nechita. From paint to sculpture, it was inspired by a deeper theme and understanding of self-love, becoming a mother and a woman. Also, by the courage of her parents that followed their journey on the path toward the American dream three decades ago and encouraged her young mind to boldly march on in the realm of fine art.
"What else can you ask for, than to have this freedom to be who you are?" says Nechita.
"With time and with age our concepts of love evolve. The best-case scenario is that it also evolves with the time of the world and the people surrounding you. It is not just this one way journey. It is about inclusivity, kindness, understanding, and compassion. For me, it is this piece that is changing its meaning and purpose with every passing day."
"I will drive around Beverly Hills and always I will think of you. This is such an honor for both of us as Romanian, to have an artist, a Romanian artist representing [Beverly Hills] the city," says Anastasia.
Viewing Anastasia interview a young star, she becomes a fairytale like Godmother. More than a simple Cinderella story, today the genius of beauty, and with a love of art and culture further confirms her legacy. Her beauty of character especially, becomes a true reflection in this Diamonds Mirror story.
Artist Alexandra Nechita portrays her newly formed nine-foot-tall Love Anatomy sculpture that will unveil next month in Beverly Hills. The bronze sculpture is part of a series that first unveiled in Singapore in 2005.
