I started to draw
at the age of 4.
Nobody taught me
how to paint.
I just felt this energy
coming through me.
And I had to show it to
everybody in the world.
Akiane Kramarik
is an internationally
recognized
15-year-old prodigy
who lives in Idaho, USA.
She is considered
the only known
child binary genius,
in both realist painting
and poetry.
I’m just using my gift
to inspire people
to live a better life,
to, just to live with
more happiness
and more love, and hope.
When 4-year-old Akiane
began to draw sketches
and her vivid visions
of Heaven, with
no previous exposure
to books or television,
her parents realized
she had a gift.
At the time,
Akiane’s family did not
believe in God or discuss
spiritual matters at home.
But seeing her sketches
and hearing her vivid
descriptions of Heaven,
her parents realized
there was
a whole new reality that
she was able to perceive.
I knew
she was not fantasizing.
She was very practical.
She didn’t play with dolls.
She didn’t like fairy tales.
And she liked everything
very serious.
So when she was talking
about these galaxies and
intergalactic experiences
and God, I knew
whatever she was seeing,
something was
really there for her.
Since a very young age,
Akiane’s spirituality shone,
and its deepening
could be seen over time
in each new painting.
She always remembers God.
Earlier in life,
He spoke to me face to face.
But now it’s more
He’s speaking to me
with sounds, with shapes,
with sometimes
animals even.
But mostly
with like the paints,
as if it’s like talking to me
in paints.
I know it’s kind of hard
to understand that.
But it’s like each time
I pick up that brush
from my palette,
I feel we are connected.
I don’t have to talk to Him,
I already know
that He’s there.
It’s kind of hard to explain.
But you know,
I don’t think
it’s never going to
change dramatically.
All I know is
that He’s always going
to be with me, forever.
Akiane’s art appears
to emerge so naturally,
when in fact, she works
with intense diligence.
Recognized as
one of the most
accomplished visual artists
at an international level,
Akiane has also been
interviewed by many
magazines, newspapers,
and television programs
such as
The Oprah Winfrey Show,
CNN’s
The Lou Dobbs Show,
and World News Tonight
with Peter Jennings.
Many of her fans ask her
what is the secret
to her success.
She answers
with ten of them,
the first of which is
“dedication and passion.”
She is probably
one of the people that
she works the hardest.
She gets up at 4 o’clock
in the morning.
No matter what happens,
she always
goes to her studio.
Akiane’s favorite saying
that she doesn’t wait
for inspiration,
the inspiration waits for her.
And that probably explains
her personality the best.
Sometimes it really
takes me 15 hours
to 400, 350 hours
to paint a painting.
It could really vary.
But at the end when
I look at my painting,
I just feel so much a good
weight off my shoulders.
I feel so relieved.
Each little painting
is different.
Each little painting
has an emotion,
and a meaning
and a story behind it.
And that’s why
people could relate to it,
to a specific painting
better than the others.
And I know
when I’m finished
with that painting, I feel
that someone has hope
for that day.
Akiane introduced us
to some of her
magnificent paintings.
This is above all,
one of my favorites.
It’s actually my
baby brother Aurelius.
And this is called
“The Wonder.”
And in this painting, I just
had a blast painting him.
This is actually
the biggest portrait
I’ve ever done.
And I just felt
that child expression,
that I was thinking,
why can’t we just be
like a child for a day?
Because all they are doing
is they’re having that
wonder, that adventure of
experiencing new things.
Well, this is
actually my self-portrait.
And I completed this
when I was 11 years old,
in acrylics.
“Co-Creation” is,
I believe, every single one
of us could achieve.
And in this
particular painting,
I’m co-creating with God.
I’m painting a star
and He’s painting a star.
I’m taking that paint
and making new stars
and galaxies.
And as you see,
I don’t have a palette.
The whole universe
is my palette.
And I just wanted to
just to show people that
they can co-create also.
We just have to
open our hearts,
and open our eyes.

Our interview with
prodigy, artist, and poet
Akiane Kramarik
continues when we return.
When I pick up
that paintbrush,
I feel as if my gift
is never going to end.
I feel like all the paintings
that I have done,
like 4 or 5 years ago,
at that time I thought
it was my full limit.
But now I’m realizing
there is no limit.
It’s endless.
Everything that I have
is endless.
And everything
that everybody else has
is endless.
Welcome back to
Enlightening Entertainment.
Throughout
her burgeoning career,
artist Akiane Kramarik,
now age 15,
always wished to paint
all the world’s ethnicities,
embracing the diversity
and unity of God’s creation.
Although she does not
live in a culturally
diverse location,
chance encounters –
and perhaps
her sincere longing –
have allowed her to do so.
Much of the proceeds of
Akiane’s paintings go to
supporting good causes,
especially
for children in need.
I believe the hope
for the future is simple,
of course to spread
my message of love.
And also trying to partner
with different charities
from around the world
and especially, I’m more
actually working with
the Smile Network and
to bring smiles to children.
That’s my goal,
is to have all the children
to have a smile on their face.
To Akiane,
the truth of art is simple.
Everything is combined
into one word,
and that is: Love.
If we really look at it,
everything is connected.
Everything is one.
Even all the emotions
are one.
And that’s why
I decided to be
on a healthier lifestyle
because
I feel so much better,
I feel more complete.
At around age 12,
Akiane chose
to become a vegetarian.
When I switched
to that path, I figured out
there was no reason why
should I eat another life.
It brings me more energy
and more hope.
Each time
when I see an animal,
I feel a connection with them,
that I just don’t want to
take a life.
So I’m glad
to be vegetarian.
She just explained that
she can not kill animals
for her consumption.
And she actually
eats very little.
So that was my concern
actually, that she was
eating so little,
but she’s thrived
and she was very healthy,
she had a lot of energy.
And she would pray a lot.
Sometimes
I would go to conferences
with her and to museums,
where she would
for days not eat anything.
And she would say that
the light is feeding her.
And her gravitating
towards a completely
vegan lifestyle is
completely normal for me.
I completely support her.
Well I’m actually
proud of her.
We need that nature,
we need that connection
with the animals,
with the water,
the green grasses.
We just need to be
in the nature
to comprehend it.
But I do believe in time,
we will actually
switch to that.
To Akiane, meditation is
also a natural part
of her daily life.
Mostly I just go up
to my little tree house
and just close my eyes
and don’t think of anything.
Just think of the moment,
the second, of the leaves,
the wind.
We have to have that power,
that strength to let it go
for a few minutes.
It’s not going to hurt.
For me,
it brings so much strength,
so much realization that
everything is so beautiful.
Everything is meant
for a reason.
I think that any encounter
with any genius,
prodigies, or people
with extraordinary talent,
your life changes
and it’s never
going to be the same.
I, completely,
my life has transformed.
I became more spiritual.
I and my husband, we
started praying together
as a family, meditating,
discussing
diverse consciousness.
And we, I think, became
happier, more joyful,
more peaceful,
more compassionate
towards others
because of her.
While speaking
about meditation,
Akiane shared
her thoughts about
Supreme Master Ching Hai,
whom she had known
and felt an affinity with.
Because
everything she does,
she’s just incredible, like
she’s one with everything,
especially nature.
We live
in the middle of nature,
we live in the forests so
it’s really nice to just go,
and just meditate
and accept everything.
What she does is brilliant
and I believe
everyone should do that.
Every single one of us.
It doesn’t have to
take all day, but just
a couple minutes in a day,
just to soak
in that wisdom of nature
because it could teach us
so much it just…
It’s unbelievable.
I totally side with her.
And I want to become,
at least,
just a little bit like that.
This painting is called
“The Quantum World.”
I painted this
a couple years ago
when I was 11-years-old.
I had no idea what
a Quantum world is.
I just, I picked up a canvas.
I guess I started just
painting what I thought
was interesting.
I started painting
like different forms and
different you know objects,
you know the DNAs
and things like that.
But it turns out, there was
a Quantum scientist that
actually visited our home.
And he just looked at me
and said:
“How did you know that
actually the Quantum world
works that way?”
Actually
I had a few encounters
when I started visiting
these places,
especially the galaxies.
But I wanted people to know
that there are
so much life out there.
We are only in this
Milky Way of galaxy.
With the technology
that’s growing
and growing each day,
there might be
so much more out there
in the near future.
And with my paintings
and with my poetry,
I can show them a
glimpse of the lives there.
I want to recite a poem.
I wrote this when
I was seven years old.
It’s called “I am.”
“I open a small shell,
Inside
I find something small
like a pearl.
And I hear the spirits say:
“Each feather is a gift
from Me.
The only reason the flight
between you and Me
is straight
Is because I let you
and because you fly.”
Answers pour from
my thick truth,
harden only
questioning mouths.
I waste the years
of only the arrogant.
Inside the small shell,
I find.
I am.”
