If you are into art, than you must take some time to review some of 8-year-old Autumn de Forest’s work. She’s not like a typical 8-year-old, once she has access to paint and canvas. The amazing thing is, Autumn de Forest doesn’t just create any kind of art. She specializes in conceptual contemporary art, which requires in depth thinking, and a huge amount of creativity which very few adults possess.

Autumn has already been compared to historical art figures such as Yves Klein, and Andy Warhol. She not only uses paint and canvas in making her art, but she also includes cement, plants, plaster, and wire in some of her amazing works.

Many artists that have been painting their entire lives, don’t understand how a girl so young, could be so extraordinarily talented when it comes to painting.

Autumn is set to auction off some of her work on Wednesday, October 27. She has already sold over $200,000 in artwork. One was priced as high as $25,000 alone.

Autumn’s parents, Doug and Katherine de Forest didn’t realize how good of an artist their daughter was until she brought a piece of artwork home from school. Her father then realized she had a special talent that not many people in this world have, when she painted something for fun at home.

“I turned away and what seemed like a few moments later I turned back, and I swear to you it was as if Mark Rothko had done some kind of mid-century masterpiece. Certainly it was simple and abstract, but profound in its simplicity. It was just kind of a wonderful moment,” said Doug de Forest.
