????Schoolboy Kieron Williamson, who was nicknamed as “Mini Monet,” has been painting ever since he was 5 when others of his age still struggled to draw a fine straight line or maintain their crayons within the limited lines of coloring books. ????According to the Daily Mail’s report, the 10-year-old has become the world’s most renowned and youngest successful artist by selling 24 paintings in about 15 minutes for US$386,000. ????Williamson is from Holt, Norfolk of England. His passion for paintings was prominent by the age of 6 and his knowledge of advanced shading and perspective in his paintings caused huge attention of the British media. In July 2010, Williamson exhibited his work in Holt. This time he achieved another landmark by selling all his paintings within 30 minutes for ￡150,000. In 2011 November, in yet another exhibition, his 33 paintings were sold again within 10 minutes with a total value of ￡100,000. In the same exhibition, his most beautiful painting “Istanbul’s Suleymaniye Mosque” was alone sold for ￡15,595. ????Williamson discovered his passion for painting on a family holiday in Devon and Cornwall. He asked his parents to give him paper to draw a boat and very soon he developed his own matured sense of colors and shading. His talent for English countrysides, seascapes and pastoral scenes makes him distinctive and as original as the “young Picasso.”(SD-Agencies) |
