Take a look at the video of the toddler painter: According to the New York Post, Laurent’s family first noticed his artic streak while on a family vacation last year. They couldn’t keep him away from the resort’s activity room. So, after returning home, his parents, Lisa and Philipp Schwarz, set up a small studio for the painter. Since then, the toddler has been creating abstract artwork that has fascinated many across the world. “They’re abstracts and what’s unusual is how he integrates discernible figures into them, which people often mention to us and which makes them so popular,” Laurent’s mom told The Times of London. “You can clearly recognize his animals, like elephants which are one of his favourite animals, as well as dinosaurs and horses. It’s very important to him that it’s bright and colourful. Brown and other boring colours don’t interest him. He has a very clear idea about the colours he mixes,” she added. Discussing the art’s painting routine, his mother told the New York Post, “It’s totally up to him when and what he paints.” She explained, “Sometimes he doesn’t feel like painting and doesn’t set foot in his studio for three or four weeks but then suddenly it grabs him and he says, ‘Mama, painting.’”
