In a heartwarming testament to talent transcending age, Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah from Ghana is once again capturing the world’s attention. The diminutive artist, who managed to enthrall audiences globally before he even turned two, has now been celebrated with a prestigious international accolade.

The prodigy, now two years old, has been honored as a 2025 Global Child Prodigy in Art. This award ceremony, held in the historic Members’ Dining Room at the UK Parliament’s House of Commons, served as an impressive backdrop for such a young talent, whose feet barely touch the floor when he sits.

Ace-Liam first made waves on the global stage in December 2023, when Guinness World Records recognized him as the youngest artist (male), achieving this milestone at just one year and 152 days old. This record-setting accomplishment, verified in Accra, Ghana, quickly captured the attention of art enthusiasts and media outlets worldwide. Born on July 16, 2022, Ace-Liam has spent most of his life immersed in painting, leaving a lasting impression on all who encounter his work.

The Global Child Prodigy Awards (GCPA) celebrate extraordinary young talents across diverse fields, including invention, writing, music, and athletics. Ace-Liam’s inclusion in this select group of young innovators underscores his role in shaping the future of art and creativity.

Reflecting on the event, Ace-Liam’s family expressed gratitude for the experience, which has been pivotal in their son’s budding artistic journey. “Meeting other remarkable prodigies excelling in various disciplines was truly inspiring,” they noted in a statement. “This experience has reinforced our dedication to continue using art as a tool for positive impact and change.”

Another accolade for Ace Liam’s is that he is now officially recognized in the Guinness World Records 2026 edition as a YOUNG ACHIEVER, securing his place as the youngest individual to achieve this honor in the 70-year history of the record book. This remarkable recognition comes alongside tributes to global icons like Simone Biles, Usain Bolt, and Dolly Parton, in the special anniversary edition.
