Nigerian doctor and visual artist, Fola David, has made history by creating the world’s largest painting by an individual, surpassing the previous Guinness World Record. David's artwork, "Unity in Diversity," spans an impressive 850 square meters, eclipsing the former record of 629.98 square meters held by India’s Ravi Soni.
The painting celebrates Nigeria's rich cultural heritage, depicting the diverse ethnic groups through their unique attire, languages, culture, and artistic expressions. David's ambition doesn't stop there, as he aims to expand his masterpiece to a staggering 1,000 square meters.
In an Instagram video, David expressed his joy: "Hi guys, I am so happy to say that we have broken the current record and all we have to do now is set a new one.” His exceptional skill and passion for art have garnered widespread acclaim.
Celebrities and dignitaries, including renowned chef and Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci and former presidential candidate Peter Obi, visited David at the Onikan Stadium venue to witness his artistic feat firsthand, praising his remarkable achievement.
