In the attic of their Bavarian family home, Lisa watches with a smile as her 2 and a half year old son, Laurent, rushes in front of a canvas with a roller dipped in white paint. He splatters drops all around the room as he spreads the material on the canvas using his tiny hands. Over the past few weeks, Lisa has witnessed this scene play out countless times and she is both amazed and unsure of what to make of it.
Despite being so young, Laurent has already mastered the painter’s gestures and filled canvases with colors using empty acrylic tubes. His talent has earned him praise from Germany’s leading popular daily, “Bild”, which has dubbed him a “painting genius.” The Times of London has gone even further, referring to him as “little Picasso.” With over 40,000 admirers on Instagram who are willing to pay thousands of euros for one of his works, it’s clear that Laurent is making quite an impression on the world.
Lisa, at 32 years old, is proud of her son’s accomplishments but also feels overwhelmed by the attention he has received. Despite being surrounded by admirers and accolades, she knows that there is still much more to learn about Laurent and his abilities. As she watches him continue to create art with his roller and acrylic tubes, Lisa can’t help but feel both humbled and excited about what the future holds for this little painting prodigy.
