Viết TuấnLaurent Schwarz lives in Bavaria, Germany. The young boy has a series of abstract paintings that have attracted the attention of art collectors. Laurent's mother noticed his painting talent when the family had a vacation in South Tyrol, Italy, in September 2023.
"There was a painting room in the hotel where we stayed, after we put our son in the room to try painting, he just wanted to stay in that room forever. So when we returned home, my husband and I decided to set up a studio for our son at home so that he could paint whenever he wanted," said 32-year-old Lisa Schwarz.

Lisa created a social media account to showcase her son's paintings. This account quickly attracted the attention of the online community and art collectors.
"Initially, I only created this account because I thought my son's paintings were quite impressive. I never expected him to receive so much attention," the proud young mother shared.
When the family tried to sell the paintings, they were quickly contacted by art collectors, including foreign collectors. Some art exhibitions have proposed collaborations to display Laurent's paintings.
All the money from selling Laurent's paintings is deposited into a bank account by his parents until he reaches the age of 18, at which point the account will be transferred to him.
Laurent's parents stated that they let him paint as he pleases. There are times when Laurent suddenly loses inspiration to paint for 3-4 weeks. During those times, the young boy does not step into the studio. But then suddenly, the inspiration to paint returns, and he runs into the studio to paint.

Currently, it takes Laurent about 30 minutes to complete a painting. Laurent's parents run a greenhouse construction company. Lisa mentioned that on social media, some netizens have criticized Laurent's paintings and even accused her and her husband of exploiting and pressuring their son to paint to make money at such a young age.
Lisa affirmed that she and her husband never pressure their son to paint. Laurent creates art based on inspiration and does not face any pressure.
