That's pretty strange to paint a photo, actually I never heard of that

It's new to me too, but can't say I'm against it. It's something we're going to see more in the future I suppose, as printing photos on a canvas is possible now.

There has to be some kind of sadness in the artist

Could be, you never know as emotions are motivating artists. Who knows.

Laboda is a good one, although I would not want it on my wall either 😂
