In an astonishing feat of creativity and determination, one-year-old Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah has officially received his Guinness World Record certificate as the youngest male painter. This remarkable achievement was celebrated on June 4, 2024, marking a significant milestone in the art world.
At just one year and 152 days old, Ace-Liam etched his name in history by securing the Guinness World Record for the Youngest Male Artist. He surpassed the previous record held by Dante Lamb since 2003, who was three years old at the time of his achievement.
Ace-Liam's journey to the record books began with an ambitious attempt conducted in Accra from January 18 to January 20, 2024. His artwork was showcased at the Museum of Science and Technology in Accra, where he impressively sold nine out of ten displayed pieces. This feat caught the attention of the First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, who commissioned a piece during the exhibition.
The prodigy, who turns two in July, has already sold 15 paintings and is preparing to host an upcoming auction. His mother, Chantelle Kuukua Eghan, an eight-year veteran artist, expressed her immense pride in her son's artistic prowess to the BBC, hopeful that he will make significant waves in the art world.
This young artist's journey is a testament to the boundless potential of human creativity, reminding us that age is no barrier to achieving greatness. As Ace-Liam continues to paint his way into the annals of art history, the world eagerly awaits his next masterpiece.
