On disturbing Podesta "art" on the walls of his home.
This is a small thing .... just an opinion.
The art ( I think featured in the Guardian article that showcased the headless sculpture) in John Podesta's home may be his or on loan from his brother.
About the large color paintings of seemingly dead girls by Biljana Djurdjevic -
(example: https://youtu.be/gNaUvMxcIiw )
I would like other artists to weigh in.
My idea - if you go to flea market and look at a typical landscape painting what you most often see is a painting done from a photograph, not from observations at the scene. The artist takes photos (or buys them) and makes slides. Then by projecting the slide onto the canvas copies the image using paint, maybe with pencil work at the start.
These all really look like copied photos to the trained eye. In the first year of art school it's a common assignment and most art school grads are pretty good at this even if they don't use the technique later.
The finished painting has a flat look and the colors are less true-to-life than the outlines.
I am thinking these morbid paintings are paintings of photographs.
The background and some details may be add ins but -- are these real kids? Missing kids made into photo portraits?
Is the art famous for a secret reason. Does it represent underground photos collected by pedos and snuff film collectors?
A poster at 4chan suggests the children are posed in a drained swimming pool. Sorry not to have a link to the post. Hard to keep up with it all.
Edit: Not her art in the link, but the pieces with children posed against a tile backgound. Amazingly, the next Youtube following your link has the reference:

Please ask artists to weigh in.
Are these paintings using the copy-photo method?
