A two-year-old child artist conquers the art world (5 photos)

A two-year-old child prodigy nicknamed 'Little Picasso' has taken the world of contemporary art by storm. The young artist has been offered £250,000 for his first abstract painting, which launched his meteoric career!





Laurent's parents, Lisa, 32, and Philippe, 43, from Bavaria, Germany, discovered their son's artistic talent by chance while on a family holiday in Italy last year.



Since then, the boy starts his day every morning at 6 o'clock with a joyful cry: "Mom, draw, draw!" His parents immediately equipped a home studio for him so that Laurent could fully devote himself to his favorite activity. Lisa shared his first work on social networks, and a New York art critic said that the child has "exceptional talent."

About 30 of the young artist's vibrant, colourful finger and brush works have already been sold to private collectors for between £8,000 and £12,000 each. An American art connoisseur recently offered $325,000, equivalent to £246,000, for his debut painting, Fingers.



Laurent's mother says there are over 20,000 people on a waiting list to buy one of her son's creations. The parents say they are putting all the proceeds from the sale of the paintings into a special savings account for Laurent. So when the boy turns 18, he will be able to laugh at Banksy himself.



"I'm incredibly proud of my son!" Lisa concludes admiringly.
