Ghana toddler becomes world's youngest male artist, wins Guinness World Records title

Meet the world's youngest painter, Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah, a prodigy from Ghana who has earned the prestigious Guinness World Records (GWR) as the world's youngest male artist. At the tender age of 1 year and 152 days, the toddler has made many paintings and even sold nine of them. Many have been left surprised by this remarkable feat.

His mom, Chantelle, told GWR that his passion for painting had been apparent from a young age when he was just six months old.

According to his mom, Chantelle, the little one developed a knack for painting at the age of six months old. “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,” she added. He ended up spreading the paint all over the canvas, and in the process, he created his first masterpiece, The Crawl,” she told GWR.

The mother added that the child loves painting and it has become one of his favourite activities. The little one has become quite a star in Ghana.
Ace-Liam recently had his first group exhibition were he sold 9 out of his 10 displayed artworks.

Speaking about her son's painting, the little one's mom said, “His abstract paintings are inspired by the world around him; colours, shapes, textures and his mood. Every painting is an expression of his curiosity and joy in discovering new things.”
