DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--DPartners Global on behalf of The World Painting, an art project that was created to unite people across the globe and share inspiration during the pandemic and to transcend across any culture, announced it beat a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD and received an official certificate for the most people for an online video using and passing a paint brush , according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
DPartners founders include Daut Shaikhislamov and Dana Ormanbayeva .
“We have long wanted to direct our creativity to harness a powerful global collaboration in one art project,” said Shaikhislamov. “We have space at our national pavilion and we thought it was an incredible way to engage with thousands of people.”
The World Painting is drawn by people who have left a mark with their paintbrush on the canvas. People have drawn various things ranging from minimalistic brushstrokes to really detailed portraits, scenery, country names and symbols.
The canvas, when completed, will be auctioned off with proceeds going to a designated charity.
To date, the world record painting has had 2020 people from more than 193 countries participate in the global public art project. The World Painting, which was initiated and implemented by DPARTNERS, is exhibited in the national pavilion at the EXPO 2020 DUBAI.
The size of the canvas is 13 x 4 feet and hangs in the hall of the Expo 2020 Dubai.
“We wanted a piece of art that could be shared with many people and then thought of EXPO in Dubai as a perfect venue for this project,” said Ormanbayeva.
“It’s impossible to convey the feeling when you meet all different people from all parts of the world with their own unique culture and language and to combine all of this into one cohesive painting.”
There were several global celebrities who contributed a piece of art to the project and include:
Bai Ling - Famous Chinese actress most known for her roles in The Crow and Wild Wild West Roy Jones Jr. - American former professional boxer Maurice Ashley - Writer and commentator of high-profile chess events Timur Bekmambetov - Kazakh-Russian Film Director Alexander Vinokourov - Kazakhstan Olympic cycling champion Christina Hammer - Professional world boxing champion
