I am so sad to see the bitter, jealous, comments from frustrated people who probably never touch a tube of paint. When did getting lessons to open his mind and give him more tools become a crime? Olympic athletes are "cheating" because they train? Come on people, THINK!
No one said that kid was a prodigy, he was just doing what he loved, and it made him successful. Abstract art isn't something to belittle, people assume its easy.
wow this kid is talented for a 7 year old. to everyone saying that loads of kids are this talented i think you are very wrong you maybe think there are because of u-tube so you get to see most of the talented children around the world but even a few hundred in the world is still rare when you account for how many children there are in the world. most adults cannot even paint this well. seriously go to your local schools and art clubs just for your area and compare their work. i am an artist and i am 35 i have never sold anything but i am happy for this child his work is not just some random squares or splashes on a page it is not luck that has made his sales he has talent and he has worked to make his paintings so i am very happy for him. i am so impressed with his work i was not this good at his age and i even struggle with watercolors now.
really great work...i wish i could own one of these early paintings....to bad they didnt show all of his work....this young man will be a giant one day
This is so cool! I love that he is just like yeah I paint these paintings it’s chill but when I draw I’m like It ALL LOOKS WRONG!!! 😆 No seriously tho he’s really really good! 💕
Kieron is an amazing kid with an amazing talent. I went to grammar school with an art prodigy. He could draw your portrait with just pencil and paper and it would look like a black and white photograph and this is when he was nine years old. In all other respects he was just a normal kid. The nuns used to punish him for getting into trouble (like I said he was a normal kid) by making him stay after school and decorate the border over the chalk board with scenes from the old west and seascapes. He didn't care, he loved it. I wish Kieron all the best. He has a great future ahead of him.
I can not believe how ignorant and selfish people can be. You are not famous although you think you are good. Face it, you are not. However, with your petty attitude you will remain in the shadow and that is where you belong. Greatness often starts with an open mind. How can you see a motive if you just see yourself?
I usually hate on kid prodigy's with abstract paintings but this kid is an incredible painter. As a professional painter I wish I had started plein air at this age
I’m proud of him for working hard to become a skilled painter. I don’t believe in talent, but even if it is real, it’s nowhere near as important as practice, education, and hard work. Remember guys, you can be good at anything you want, as long as you put lots of time and effort into developing your skills! 👍
@Yes I like Kpop don't sue me thank you There are people that are better at doing certain things than others. There are people that are worse at doing things than others. Does it offend you that a kid can be naturally better than you at something? Obviously you practice on anything to get better. The gift is his ability to learn painting techniques quickly and use them effective to create beautiful art whereas it'll take millions of other people a lot longer.
Interesting that this emerged from CNN Business, not a newspaper's Culture section. Would be more worthwhile to examine the publicity machine that fomented the stampede rather than the child's not-that-remarkable precocity.
what a sad world. 10 YO and already a multimillionaire, whilst 1000s of artists as if not much more talented and having a background of years and years of hard work don't get any attention from those stupid rich people who are just looking for sensational stuff to impress theire business partners and "friends". Sheeps BTW ! I'm not jealous, I'm not even an artist
all artists know that art is a gamble. we dont do it for fame or money. in fact there are some artists who purposely dont want to be known or have millions of dollars. i'm an artist in my 4th year of art school and i think this kid is awesome, but i dont wish to be in his shoes.
@@numbuh53 Ahahaha! Bullcrap! If someone offered you thousands of dollars for one of your drawings/paintings/sculptures you'd take it. Quit lying to yourself.
Well he's better than some kid-artists I've seen that get paid thousands... still his art is definitely not worth that much. I sell 20-hour hyper realistic drawings for only around $200 😢
wow-- i only draw for fun. i dont think im old enough to sell or do commisions. im roughly 10 years old and i just do simple, out of my mind drawings of my OCs. but, i can agree. this kid-- i mean, yeah some artists draw for a living but damn this kids parents just want the money.
I'M 10 years old painter create paintings over 79 but.. they called my painting trash when I painting me goes crazy but it's look realistic but when everyone else it's trash I goes crazy and everyone doesn't care
It's nice I started painting at 10 years old. If only i had lessons. He has had lessons and now everyone is all bout this spoiled kid. There are more kids who paint just as well. This is just another Idols.
No I am not jealous...I am just not convinced this kid does actually paint. That's all. The art scene is all about money, and can be trickty. I would love to see this kid paint with oils. Why are there no videos'where he is painting close up??? I would really love to see taht!
Well, there probably other kids that do paint as well, but aren't as fortunate as he is to have parents that can afford to buy them all the painting supplies to practice, and/or their parents don't give them the opportunity to try, or they don't have anyone to showcase their work to easily. But, whatever the case, it doesn't take this child's talent away. I am happy he is doing so well at profiting from his art. :)
I think its kinda gross how people are gnawing on different forms of art. Of course abstract art seems so simple, but people who haven't even picked up a brush should judge that. Notice how I said "seems", its difficult to make.
TUANLULU - true im 12 and i have this talent, i have been doing art since 4, i can use = oil pastels/acrylic/watercolour/gouache/colouring pencils and markers. I litteraly agree with ur comment. (p. S. On my friend's account) Edit: sadly i dont get along with soft pastels, and no oil paint because i have to then use some more dangerous stuff with it
TUANLULU seriously? wether a kid takes lessons or not the kid's passion and love for art is what's making him paint. for some reason i guess human loginc says if you can afford a lesson you're automatically a brat and deserves no recognition for making actual good art. if someone hates taking somekind of lesson, people will be able to tell. if you have passion and love for what you do, you learn faster from it.
So why do they call him a Mini Monet in the title of this video when he specifies that he doesn't see himself as a Mini Monet but that he would rather be compared to Edward Seago?
I'm not hating! He is good, it's beautiful, and yes, I am jealous, but I'm just saying! So many adult painting get sold for hundreds and his, for hundreds of thousands just because he's a few years younger!
Yes, it makes you wonder how his paintings are being sold for such high prices. My guess, very clever marketing, the right contacts and the paintings being shown in the right places, all being organised by the parents who obviously have the time and money to promote their child. He deserves every penny but he is being run as a money making business, lets not forget that. Im sure his parents will be more than happy with the lifestyle their little boy can provide for them, they wont be complaining.
many of these kids appear to be home schooled. Bet one of the parents can paint or coached this kid from a baby to paint.same for music. Ordinary school would shred their egos as too different
