Nigerian artist Lola Mewu sought to break the Guinness World Record for the longest time spent painting, and she has achieved this great feat.
From Saturday, October 28, 2023, to Tuesday, October 31, 2023, Lola Mewu began painting different artworks.
Now she has completed the feat, having painted for 72 hours, beating the previous record holder, Roland Palmerts of France, who painted 60 paintings in 60 hours. His artwork was displayed in a museum.
Lola has now broken that record, having painted for 72 hours, some of her paintings have been auctioned.
Many of Lola’s paintings feature throwbacks from childhood, like playing in class, visiting a call centre, and looking out the window.
Nigerian dancer and Guinness World Records attempter, Kaffy called in to encourage Lola. Influencers like Saskay and Adeherself were in attendance to offer support.
