Ghana’s young art star, Ace-Liam, named among world’s Top 100 Child Prodigies
Ghana’s two-year-old art sensation, Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah, has been named among the world’s Top 100 Child Prodigies at the prestigious Global Child Prodigy Awards 2025, held at the British Parliament last month.
The award ceremony, hosted in the historic Members’ Dining Room of the House of Commons, celebrated extraordinary young talents from over 130 countries. Ace-Liam stood out as the youngest among them, a testament to his artistic brilliance and growing global acclaim.
Already a Guinness World Record holder as the Youngest Male Artist, Ace-Liam was recognized in the Artcategory for his exceptional contributions and impact in the visual arts. The toddler’s vibrant abstract works often described as a celebration of color, freedom, and curiosity have captured international attention. His art has earned him features on BBC, CNN, and Smithsonian Magazine, as well as appearances at major exhibitions, including EMY Africa Xpo 2024.
His paintings have become part of prestigious private and institutional collections across the globe, solidifying his place among the world’s most promising young talents.
Prashant Pandey, Founder and CEO of the Global Child Prodigy Awards, praised the young Ghanaian artist, saying the award recognizes children who prove that “age is no barrier to extraordinary achievement.” He emphasized the platform’s mission to “inspire and elevate young talents like Ace-Liam to continue pushing boundaries.”
Ace-Liam made history in May 2024 when Guinness World Records officially confirmed him as the youngest male artist, following his record-breaking attempt held in Accra from January 18 to January 20, 2024. He dethroned the previous record holder, Dante Lamb, who set the mark in 2003 at the age of three.
