John Lefson recovery a one-month-old piglet from a slaughterhouse and soon realized that the animal was unique. According to Joan, of her own free will, the little pig began to paint canvases in a sanctuary located in South Africa.
The little pig is called Picasso, and one of his works of art has broken a record. The art pig created a painting that sold for about 20 thousand euros. The work “Wild and Free” was purchased by a German man 72 hours after it went on sale and broke the record for the most expensive piece of art created by an animal. Previously, it belonged to the Congo Chimpanzee, which sold a painting in 2005 for about 14,000 euros.
