Ghanaian toddler and Guinness World Record holder, Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah, has been celebrated as a Global Child Prodigy in Art at the British Parliament, recognising his extraordinary artistic talent at just two years old.
Ace-Liam was named among the Top 100 Child Prodigies in the world at the Global Child Prodigy Awards 2025, held on June 26, 2025, at the historic Member’s Dining Room of the House of Commons, UK Parliament, in London.
This third edition of the prestigious awards brought together gifted children from over 130 countries, with Ace-Liam standing out as a symbol of raw creativity and limitless potential.
Known globally as the Youngest Male Artist, Ace-Liam gained international recognition after earning a Guinness World Record in May 2024. His record-breaking journey began with a certified art showcase in Accra between January 18 and 20, 2024, surpassing the previous holder, Dante Lamb, who held the title since 2003 at the age of three.
Ace-Liam’s work—abstract and expressive—has captivated global audiences. His bold use of colour and form reflects an innate sense of curiosity and freedom. His paintings have featured on major platforms such as BBC, CNN, and Smithsonian Magazine, and were exhibited at key events including EMY Africa Xpo 2024. Several of his pieces have also been acquired by prestigious art collectors worldwide.
Founder and CEO of the Global Child Prodigy Awards, Prashant Pandey, applauded the honourees: “Every child we recognise proves that age is no limitation to greatness. This platform is here to encourage and celebrate remarkable talents like Ace-Liam who inspire the world.”
Ace-Liam’s recognition as a global artistic prodigy not only highlights his personal achievements but also places Ghana at the forefront of conversations around youthful talent, creativity, and international artistic excellence.
