British artist Sacha Jafri has officially achieved the Guinness World Records title for ‘The Largest Art Canvas‘ in the world.
With his painting ‘The Journey of Humanity’, the canvas scales over 17,000 square feet (17,176.6 square feet). Sacha Jafri used 1,065 paintbrushes and a whopping 6,300 litres of paint to create the extraordinary painting.
Jafri‘s record-breaking painting, ‘The Journey of Humanity’, now described as ‘The Modern-Day Sistine Chapel’, is part of his charitable initiative ‘Humanity Inspired’, supported by over 100 A-list celebrities.
Considered as the largest worldwide social, artistic and philanthropic initiative in history, the painting was created in Dubai’s Atlantis, which was converted into the artist’s studio, where Sacha spent a period of 28 weeks from March to September 2020 during the lockdown.
According to Sacha Jafri, it is an honour to receive the Guinness World Records™ title for his project. “If one person can spend 20 hours a day (on four hours sleep) for seven months continuously, creating a painting of over 17,000 square feet on his own, imagine what 7.5 billion people could do together if we stopped the nonsense of discrimination, judgement, and agenda. One World, One Soul, One Planet’,” he maintained.
