A Nigerian student at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Chancellor Ahaghotu, has been announced as a new Guinness World Record, GWR, holder for the longest painting marathon.
GWR, on Wednesday in a post on its official handle, announced that Ahaghotu broke its 10-year-old record after a 100-hour marathon painting.
“After painting for 100 consecutive hours, Chancellor Ahaghotu, a Nigerian art student has broken a decade old record for the longest painting marathon”, the GWR said.
Ahaghotu painted 106 pieces depicting subjects, including celebrities, plants, animals and food items.
Speaking of his new achievements, Ahaghotu stated that the painting represents “my different mood and feeling.”
“There was joy and celebration when I completed the 100 hours. It was a new experience for me and I am glad that I completed it.”
A Belgian painter, Roland Palmaerts, held the previous record in 2013 after painting for 60 hours.
