The world's youngest professional artist, Arushi Bhatnagar


Arushi Bhatnagar is a child prodigy when it comes to art. Believe it or not, she started painting when she was only two months old by using her hands and feet. When she was eleven months old, she sold one of her paintings for 5000 rupees (about 113 in American dollars), which makes her the world's youngest professional artist in the Guinness book of world records. It is quite hard to imagine that someone can be a professional painter before the age of one, but Arushi made this possible with her natural born artistic skills. As of now at age 6, Arushi has painted over 3000 paintings and has put up 21 exhibitions in 10 cities. This is truly remarkable, especially for someone so young. If Arushi has already accomplished this much at the age of 6, imagine what she would accomplish when she grows up. With her gifted art abilities, Arushi's future is filled with opportunities, and she will probably become one of the most famous artists of the 21st century.

  1. This painting is really impressive. This is obviously the work of an accomplished artist. However I struggle to believe that her finger paintings from before she turned one would be worth a significant amount of money. Obviously she has a huge amount of talent, I would be really interested to see this first painting she sold. In any case, I certainly wish I could have sold my finger-paintings for that kind of money.
