(The latter was the inspiration for \u201cKing and Queen,\u201d the 29-by-41-inch acrylic purchased by Belfort.) He listens to Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson while he\u2019s painting, often until 11 at night.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also incredibly prodigious, creating every day. \u201cI paint in little pieces,\u201d Andres said. \u201cI work on it for an hour or two. Then I go do something else. I come back to it the next day and keep adding more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But he\u2019s also still a kid who collects GI Joe figures and plays with his friends after school. In fact, he was 20 minutes late for his Post interview because his mom took him to a toy store in between interviews.<\/p>\n<p>The Valencias explained that they saw Andres\u2019 talent very early on and nurtured it by buying him paint, brushes and canvases. Lupe added that the boy cleans up all his messy spills and paint-splattered clothes.<\/p>\n<p>His first exhibition was in Soho last month at Chase Contemporary.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Andres-Valencia-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Artist Shepard Fairey bought a painting by Valencia.\" class=\"wp-image-20354491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Andres-Valencia-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Andres-Valencia-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/Andres-Valencia-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Artist Shepard Fairey met Valencia and checked out his work.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Aaron Davidson\/Getty Images for Art Miami + Context Art Miami<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Konfniloff invited him to Art Miami, and they are together supporting the Perry J Cohen Foundation which honors the memory of Korniloff\u2019s son, who was lost at sea during a boating mishap in 2015.
