    This people are true artists. And if they were in countries that were wealthier they could have much greater opportunities. In the West people with almost no talent creating spots on paper and are selling their "pieces" for thousands... It is so unfair.
    You are artists people you should feel proud. Greatest from Greece!

    Most maestros learned by copying, then they learned how to reinterpret artworks until they have their own artistic style and techniques

    Does anyone know the name of the artist (Or in his words; craftsman)? It's odd that it isn't specified at all.

    Many started to copy then they developed their own style.

    I never buy a painting painted by great artists? Know why? Because I copy. Why should I buy an expensive painting when there is more fun in recreating?

      I agree with what the chinese painter said, what they do is craftsmanship, since they produce no original work.

    Maybe my painting won't sell at a price the great masters do, but that's okay.

    In the USA anyone can be can artist even with shitty art but they put so much effort to create an identical peice I truly support it.

  • @rmorris4598

    The painting itself doesn't matter. It never does or a fake would be the same price as an original. Stupid people with stupid money are buying autographs in stead of the art. I love when those people get burned! Karma is a bitch!
