His journey into art began unexpectedly, according to his mother, Chantelle Kukua Eghan, who is also a practising artist and founder of Arts and Cocktails Studio in Accra.

That spontaneous moment led to the creation of his first artwork, 'The Crawl', marking the beginning of what would soon become a remarkable artistic journey. With encouragement from his mother, Ace-Liam continued to explore painting, gradually developing his own style.

Determined to nurture his talent, Eghan applied for a Guinness World Record on his behalf. In response, the organisation required that the young artist publicly exhibit and sell his works to qualify for the title.

To meet this criterion, she organised his debut exhibition at the Museum of Science and Technology in January, where 10 of his paintings were displayed,nine of which were sold.
