Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah was recognised as the world’s youngest male painter last Monday. He made this achievement at one year and 152 days. The mother, Chantelle Kuukua Eghan, shared her pride in her son’s artistic ability and hopes he can take the art world by storm.
“When I opened the email I just broke down,” Ms Eghan said. To break the record, Guinness World Records (GWR) said Ace-Liam needed to be part of a professional exhibition (专业展览) that was open to the public and sell his work. It added that the work needed to be done to a professional standard and to be proved that it was done on his own.
Ace-Liam’s work was exhibited at the Museum of Science and Technology in the capital Accra, from last December to early January. He sold nine of the 10 pieces. He was even commissioned (委托) by the First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, who attended the exhibition. The boy, who turns two in July, sold another 6 paintings later.
But Ms Eghan said he “crawled (爬)” into it at the beginning. She was working on a piece she’d been commissioned to do for Miss Universe 2023. Being a single mother, she needed to take care of six-month-old Ace-Liam while she worked. “How do I balance between painting and raising a kid?” she thought to herself. Then she spread out a canvas (画布) on the floor, put some paint on it and let him play with it. “He was so interested in the bright colours,” she said warmly.
“His paintings show someone who is intrigued about discovering things,” Ms Eghan said. She hopes her son will follow in the footsteps of Ghanaian artist Amaoko Boafo. “He has been able to put Ghana on the map when it comes to art,” she said.
