He’s been hailed the pint-sized Picasso, capturing the imagination of the art world, and this toddler is fetching tens of thousands of dollars for his paintings.
He may only be two-years-old but Laurent Schwarz, from Germany, has already amassed an impressive portfolio of artwork, and buyers are scrambling to get their hands on his paintings.
He has reportedly sold some of his paintings for around $14,000, but his mum says one of his pieces has received a bid of US$148,000.
And it all started with a family holiday to Italy late last year.
“There was a painting room in the hotel and we couldn’t get him out of it,” his 32-year-old mum Lisa told PEOPLE. “Just before Christmas we set up a studio for him and he was in it all the time.”
He now creates abstract paintings of elephants, dinosaurs and horses, with some of his works attracting thousands of inquiries. And he’s also got a big social media following, with more than 40,000 fans on Instagram. He also has his own website, where art lovers can purchase his work.
“It’s totally up to him when and what he paints,” Lisa told The Times. “Sometimes he doesn’t feel like painting and doesn’t set foot in his studio for three or four weeks but then suddenly it grabs him and he says, ‘Mama, painting.’ ”
