Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah was officially recognised as the world’s youngest male painter last Monday, after five months of waiting for Guinness World Records (GWR) to approve their attempt. He achieved the incredible feat aged one year and 152 days. The mother of the Ghanaian boy, Chantelle Kuukua Eghan, who has been an artist herself for eight years, shared her pride in her son’s artistic ability and hopes he can take the art world by storm.
在等待吉尼斯世界纪录批准他们的尝试五个月后，Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah于上周一被正式认定为世界上最年轻的男画家。他在一岁零152天时完成了这一令人难以置信的壮举。这个加纳男孩的母亲Chantelle Kuukua Eghan自己已经成为一名艺术家八年了，她为儿子的艺术能力感到骄傲，并希望他能在艺术界引起轰动。
“When I opened the email I just broke down,” Ms Eghan said. To qualify for the record, GWR said Ace-Liam needed to be part of a professional exhibition that was open to the public and sell his work. It added that the work needed to be done to a professional standard and evidence presented that it was done on his own.
埃根女士说：“当我打开电子邮件时，我哭了”。GWR表示，为了获得记录，Ace Liam需要参加一个向公众开放的专业展览，并出售他的作品。另外，这项工作需要达到专业标准，并有证据表明这是他自己完成的。
Ace-Liam’s work was exhibited at the Museum of Science and Technology in the capital Accra, from last December to early January this year. He sold nine of the 10 pieces that were on display and was even commissioned (委托) by the First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, who attended the exhibit. The genius, who turns two in July, has sold 15 paintings throughout his career so far.
Ace Liam的作品于去年12月至今年1月初在首都阿克拉的科技博物馆展出。他卖出了展出的10幅作品中的9幅，甚至还受到了出席展览的第一夫人Rebecca Akufo-Addo的委托。这位天才将于7月年满两岁，迄今为止，他的职业生涯中已经卖出了15幅画作。
But this dive into the art world was initially unintended. Ms Eghan said he “crawled (爬)” into it. 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. On a sudden inspiration, she spread out a stretched canvas (画布) on the floor, put some paint on it and let him play with it. “He was so intrigued by the bright colours,” she said warmly.
但他对艺术世界的深入最初是无意的。埃根女士说，他“爬”进去了。当时，她正在为2023年环球小姐创作一件作品。作为一名单身母亲，她需要在工作期间照顾六个月大的Ace Liam。她心想：“我该如何在画画和养育孩子之间取得平衡？”突然她有了灵感，她在地板上铺开一块伸展的画布，涂上一些颜料，让他玩。她热情地说：“他对鲜艳的颜色很感兴趣”。
Ace-Liam’s artistry is defined by bright colours and acrylic paint (丙烯颜料) to create dynamic abstract images. “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.
Ace Liam的艺术是由明亮的颜色和丙烯酸颜料来创造动态的抽象图像。埃根女士说：“他的画作展示了一个对发现事物感兴趣的人。”她希望自己的儿子能追随加纳艺术家Amaoko Boafo的脚步。她说：“他已经让加纳在艺术领域名声大噪”。
