Ace-Liam Ankrah, a toddler from Ghana, is the world's youngest male artist. His mom, Chantelle Kukua Eghan, is an artist too. One day, when Ace-Liam was just 6 months old, he found his mom's paints. She put a canvas on the floor, added paint, and Ace-Liam crawled over it, mixing all the colors. This was his first artwork, called "The Crawl." Ace-Liam kept painting with his mom's encouragement. To break a record, he needed to exhibit and sell his paintings. Guinness World Records confirmed that at 1 year and 152 days old, Ace-Liam is the youngest male artist. He had his first exhibition at 11 months and sold a painting for $60. Ace-Liam sometimes paints in short sessions over days or weeks. He is energetic but focused while painting. His mom says being a record holder hasn't changed their lives. Ace-Liam enjoys painting, growing, and playing.
