Guinness World Records (GWR) often takes to its social media pages to share news about people who have made it to the prestigious list maintained by the organisation. Their latest post is about a boy who has become the world’s youngest male artist at the tender age of 1 year and 152 days. The organisation has also shared photos of his paintings, which may surprise you.
“At the age of 1 year 152 days, little Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah from Ghana is the world’s youngest male artist! (Ghana) His mum Chantelle, also an artist, discovered Ace-Liam’s passion for painting when he was just 6 months old!” GWR wrote.
The organisation also shared a quote from the painter’s mom that reads, “While learning to crawl, I spread out a piece of unstretched canvas on the floor and dropped some paint on it as a way to keep him busy while I worked on a commission painting”.
