ugh mom why did you throw away my art from kindergarten i coulda paid your house off

[Clevoliver]

I'm honestly concerned for humanity

[johnvelo]

Imagine the pressure this little girl will feel when she actually finds out when she’s older that she’s not that extraordinary of an artist. Every child paints like that.

[kelli]

"she's being compared to the greatest artists of all time"

um-

[TheCamaroguy]

bro every kid paints like that.. they’re really milking it.

[sensen]

this is what every kid does. If i had rich parents, i would've been a "child prodigy". The parents are stretching it too far. The people who buy these are pretentious, not art enthusiasts.

[TheCamaroguy]

.... I’ve been trying to build an art career for years... what am I doing wrong I-

[m.h]

She ain’t doing anything

She’s just throwing random colors at a paper!

This is the thing with people’s judgement and what makes it sad, when people see abstract paintings, that’s what they define as “art” but when they see drawings from amateurs who spent hours, days, weeks or even years just to finish that one drawing but people don’t appreciate it for the time and effort that was put in it yet here are people who draw simple shapes and splat colors and it’s already good enough for some or most people, i’m not disrespecting the artist who draw abstact paintings but what i’m trying to point out is that people don’t give fair attention to the different art categories like statues, anime, cartoons, carpet or cloth designs etc. and it’s not going to give artists self confidence but only let them down or even stop them from following their dreams and passion, age or experience doesn’t matter when it comes to art, what makes an artwork so beautiful, is the time, effort, and love that was put into it.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing remarkable about this artist, or her "art". If you sat these same paints and utensils in front of any neuro-typical toddler you would get similar results. Let's wait a decade and see what this girl is painting and maybe we can say she has talent...maybe.

[bearose]

This is hilarious, there is no way this is real

[nileshjena]

I miss the good old days where actual masterpieces were being created

[diamondlove]

This so called “artist, ” of yours, does nothing but paint spatters and scribbles, .... what happend to those days when art had defined detail, and an emotional story behind it, ..?

[JaRabia]

I have a whole art degree and I’m still paying back student loans... she’s still using a bottle and can barely talk. Her artwork sells for thousands? Um I’m jealous 😂

[IAmSuzyQ]

Art is in the eye of the beholder...
But this is only art in the eye of a beer holder.

[zoe-htmh]

Her: draws a dot
Artists: OMG SHE JUST DID THAT

[sagenevell]

her "paintings" should be worth WAYY less, or just shouldnt be sold at all

[elizabethsencio]

*Artists that went through art school are shaking*

Interviewer: "Is Lola good for a two year old, or is she just good?"
Woman: "Lola is good, and she's good for a two year old."
