At just 1 year and 152 days old, Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah from Ghana has taken the art world by storm, earning the title of the world’s youngest male artist in Guinness World Record. This prodigious talent was discovered by his mother, Chantelle, herself an artist, who noticed Ace-Liam’s passion for painting when he was just six months old.
Discovering a Young Prodigy
Chantelle recounts the serendipitous discovery of her son’s talent: “While learning to crawl, I spread out a piece of unscratched canvas on the floor and dropped some paint on it as a way to keep him busy while I worked on a commission painting.” To her surprise, Ace-Liam began spreading the paint across the canvas, creating his first masterpiece titled “The Crawl.” This moment marked the beginning of his journey in the art world.
