That is ~11 paintings per day, every single day. There is a girl, who at age 3, can solve a rubik's cube in a minute. I would say it is possible, if guided by parents, but at a cost of social and emotional development.

Assuming he started painting the day he was born.

There are child prodigies, but there are also people making stuff up for fun and profit.

But I'd still love to see a video of his process.

No, but it is hard to tell when did he start. If at age four, that would be still possible with 22 pictures, assuming most pictures are small.

Even if you exclude the first year of his life, that wouldn't change the "~11 a day" estimate by much. It might up it to "~12" a day.

I'm not going to yell out "hoax", but I will agree with the skepticism.

Indian culture has a fascination with child prodigies, many of whom turn out to be much less than they were presented as. Ankit Fadia is perhaps the most well known example, although there are plenty of others in infosec, computer science and various other non-STEM fields.

In addition, all of the references in this article come from a single source: The Hindu. I am not aware of their legitimacy, although ostensibly they are controversial.

Of all the mainstream news papers in India, The Hindu is probably the most legitimate and least controversial.
