Nigerian man's 10,814.5-square-foot drawing is the world's largest

Nov. 14 (UPI) -- A Nigerian doctor with a passion for art broke a Guinness World Record with a 10,814.5-square-foot drawing celebrating the cultures of his country.

Fola David-Tolaram, 31, created his drawing, titled The Unity of Diversity, using waterproof markers on a massive canvas at a 5,000-seat stadium over the course of several days.

The new world's largest drawing by an individual depicts a giant map of Nigeria bearing images of the various peoples and cultural iconography of the country's regions.

"The Nigerian country is a multi-cultural nation. I wanted to create something that speaks to that and give people an avenue to celebrate their cultures," David-Tolaram told Guinness World Records. "Before embarking on this record drawing, I took a trip around my country to experience these different cultures personally and it was this experience that I brought to the stadium to create this drawing."
