It is believed that art is not objective. Probably because not everyone can share the creator's point of view and recognize his work as a masterpiece.

Sometimes it takes a certain age to be recognized. But at least one artist on Earth has managed to avoid the unpleasant fate of being unrecognized.

We are talking about a boy from Ghana, who was officially recognized as the youngest artist on the planet - he is one year old, reports the Izvestia publication.

One-year-old Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah from Ghana is considered the youngest artist in the world.

The artist's name was entered into the Guinness Book of Records.

His mother, Chantelle Egan, said the future record holder began drawing when he was barely six months old.

At that time, she worked on an art commission and gave the child a canvas with paints to somehow occupy the baby for a while.

At 11 months, she began to suspect that the child had talent.

The boy intuitively mastered the brush and canvas.

In 2023, his works were presented at an exhibition together with works by professional locals, including his mother.

To register a world record, the organizers required one condition to be met: to sell at least one painting.

To date, 11 of them have already been sold. But after registering the record, the child has not written anything new.
