Mother
of
the
world
record
holder
for
the
youngest
male
artist,
Chantelle
Kuukua
Eghan
has
revealed
how
she
discovered
her
son,
Ace
Liam
Ankrah’s
painting
skills.
Chantelle
in
an
interview
on
The
Afternoon
Show
on
Wednesday,
July
17
opened
up
about
how
she
only
wanted
to
distract
her
son
Ace
Liam
who
was
just
eleven
months
old
at
the
time,
from
interrupting
her
works.
Chantelle,
also
an
artist
had
been
contracted
to
create
a
cave
painting
for
the
2023
Miss
Universe
Ghana
representative
in
the
US.
As
busy
as
she
was
with
her
painting,
Chantelle
decided
to
avoid
any
interruption
from
her
baby
boy
at
the
time.
According
to
her,
she
decided
to
lay
a
painting
canvass
board
on
the
floor
and
spread
different
colours
of
paints
for
Ace
Liam
to
play
with
it,
just
to
keep
Ace
Liam
busy
and
keep
him
away
from
distracting
her.
Chantelle
further
narrated
that
after
a
while,
she
raised
the
canvass
board
to
show
it
to
her
grandmother
who
said
“this
looks
like
an
abstract
painting”.
“Being
an
artiste
myself,
I
was
commissioned
by
Miss
Universe
Ghana
to
paint
a
cave
for
the
2023
representative
in
the
US.
So,
I
was
so
busy
and
I
wanted
to
find
a
distraction
for
him.
Ace
Liam
during
his
painting
“I
spread
out
a
canvass
board
on
the
floor
and
I
put
some
paints
on
it
and
I
wanted
him
to
crawl
and
try
and
figure
it
out.
“I
didn’t
even
tell
him
anything,
he
started
chasing
the
paints
and
spreading
it
with
his
hands.
I
raised
it
and
my
grandmother
said
that
looks
like
an
abstract
work
and
I
said
you
forget
about
it,”
she
shared
on
TV3.
Since
then,
from
the
age
of
eleven
months,
Chantelle
decided
to
try
Ace
Liam’s
painting
skills
again
by
giving
a
painting
brush
time
around
and
paints.
She
was
amazed
by
her
son’s
works
and
has
since,
consistently
allowed
Ace
to
paint
and
exhibit
his
skills.
“So,
at
the
age
of
eleven
months,
I
had
not
made
him
create
a
painting
since
then
but
eleven
months
I
engaged
him
again,
this
time
with
a
brush
and
he
started
painting
and
I
said
this
looks
like
something
he
enjoys.
“So
that’s
what
we
started
doing
from
the
age
of
eleven
months
and
then
I
chanced
upon
the
Guinness
World
Record
for
youngest
artiste
and
I
applied
for
him,”
she
added.
The
Guinness
World
Record
confirmed
Ace
Liam
Ankrah
as
the
youngest
male
artist
at
just
one-year-old
152
days
in
May
2024.
Ace
Liam
ended
the
reign
of
Dante
Lamb,
a
three-year-old
who
has
reportedly
held
the
title
since
2003.
Liam
attempted
the
Guinness
World
Records
in
Accra
between
January
18
and
January
20,
2024.
Chantelle
expressed
her
commitment
to
building
up
Ace’s
painting
skills
as
a
website
has
currently
been
created
to
outdoor
his
paintings.
Ace
Liam
who
is
now
2
years
old,
has
also
receive
support
from
several
sponsors
including
Wondercoat
from
BBC
industrials
Ghana
Limited
to
provide
acrylic
paints
for
his
works.
