Nigerian Teen Breaks World Record with 12,000m² Canvas for Autism Awareness

Fifteen-year-old Nigerian art prodigy Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke has entered the Guinness World Records after completing the largest painting on canvas in the world—measuring 12,304 square meters.

The monumental piece, unveiled in Abuja, is a tribute to autism awareness and inclusivity.

Kanye, who is on the autism spectrum himself, said the piece is his way of showing “what silence can look like in color.”

“It’s not just art—it’s advocacy,” said his mother, Mrs. Njideka Tagbo-Okeke.

The initiative has earned praise from the Ministry of Culture and UNICEF, with calls to include autism education in Nigeria’s public school curriculum.
