Chancellor Ahaghotu, a Nigerian student studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the newest Guinness World Record (GWR) holder for the longest painting marathon.
In an announcement made on Wednesday through its official platform, GWR revealed that Ahaghotu successfully shattered their 10-year-old record by completing an impressive 100-hour painting marathon.
“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.
