At just eight years old, Rea Balotia of Delhi achieved a distinctive artistic milestone by creating a large-scale artwork centered on the theme of peace and harmony. Combining painting and collage, the work brought together several materials and techniques on a single canvas. The India Book of Records (IBR) confirmed the achievement on June 25, 2026.

Born on August 10, 2017, Rea Balotia was 8 years, 10 months and 15 days old when her achievement was confirmed. Her artwork measured 8 feet × 4 feet, equivalent to approximately 2.44 metres × 1.22 metres. According to the India Book of Records, it was recognized as the largest artwork on peace and harmony made by a child.

The work stands out not only because of its dimensions but also because of its mixed-media approach. Rea created the artwork using canvas, acrylic paints, pieces of fabric and mirror. The combination of painting and collage allowed different materials and visual textures to come together within the same composition.

Peace and harmony form the central theme of the artwork. Rather than focusing solely on artistic scale, the record also highlights the subject chosen by the young creator. Peace and harmony are broad social and human themes, and Rea expressed them through a visual work created with a combination of colour, materials and collage techniques.

With dimensions of approximately 2.44 metres by 1.22 metres, the artwork covers around 2.98 square metres. Its size makes it a substantial creative project for a young artist, while the use of fabric and mirror alongside acrylic paint adds a variety of physical materials to the composition.

Rea Balotia’s achievement demonstrates how visual art can provide children with a way to explore and communicate themes that extend beyond their immediate surroundings. Through a large-format work, she combined an important theme with an experimental approach to materials, bringing painting and collage together in a single creation.

The record also places emphasis on the age of the artist. Rea was still eight years old when the achievement was officially confirmed, making the scale and subject of the work particularly notable within the record category.

The India Book of Records confirmed the achievement on June 25, 2026, recognizing Rea Balotia of Delhi for creating the largest artwork on peace and harmony made by a child.
