One-Year-Old Boy Becomes Guinness World Record Holder as Youngest Male Artist
A young boy from Ghana named Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah has set a record in the Guinness World Records as the youngest male artist. He achieved this amazing feat when he was just 1 year and 152 days old.
Ace-Liam started showing interest in art when he was only six months old. Since then, he has created more than 20 paintings.
His talent was showcased in his first group exhibition called The Soundout Premium Exhibition at the Museum of Science and Technology in Ghana. Surprisingly, nine out of his ten artworks were sold during this exhibition.
His mother, Chantelle, discovered his passion for art when he made his first piece, “The Crawl,” at six months old.
Chantelle explained that while Ace-Liam was learning to crawl, she laid out a piece of canvas on the floor and dropped some paint on it to keep him occupied while she worked on her own painting.
Ace-Liam ended up spreading the paint all over the canvas, creating his first masterpiece. It was clear from this experience that he found a lot of joy in creating art.
