The Journey Begins at Six Months
Meet Ace Liam Nana Sam Ankrah, a budding artist with an incredible talent for painting. His mother, Shantel, herself an artist, recognized his artistic flair when he was just six months old. Shantel noticed that while teaching Ace Liam to walk, he would often crawl over to a canvas she had laid out on the floor. Intrigued by his interest, she encouraged him to explore the world of colors and shapes.
Creating “The Crawl”
At the tender age of one year and 152 days, Ace Liam Nana Sam Ankrah made history by officially entering the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s youngest male artist. His first artwork, aptly titled “The Crawl,” captured the essence of his early explorations. Shantel recalls, “As I taught him to walk on his knees, I spread a canvas on the floor, and he started working on his commissioned painting. I did it to keep him busy.”
A Growing Portfolio
Since then, Ace Liam has continued to create captivating paintings. His artistic journey has led to more than 20 unique pieces, each reflecting his curiosity, mood, and the world around him. His work has garnered attention not only nationally but also internationally.

The Joy of Painting
For Ace Liam, painting is more than just a hobby—it’s a joyful and expressive activity. Shantel explains, “He enjoys the feeling of paint on his hands and expresses himself freely through his art.” His creations resonate with viewers, capturing their imagination and inspiring other children to explore their creativity.
