I know nothing of her CV/history, so I it's just a question at this point. Do we have a thread showing where Djurdjevic was working and living at different times? Because it sure as hell looks to me like she painted Anderson Cooper as a kid, too.
I'm saying we should compare their timelines before we rule it out. The fact that the backgrounds of her paintings look very very similar to the Biltmore Estate, which is owned by Cooper's family, seems a bit more than "improbable". Your own confirmation bias is causing you to dismiss it.
We should be able to find out if Djurdjevic had any association with the Vanderbilts. Of course it's also possible that she painted the pictures from photos taken by the abusers, and was never there in person.

No. The facts are.
Let's start with some critical thinking. To begin with the odds of any American knowing a native Yugoslav during Communist rule would have been highly unlikely. Then the odds of two specific people knowing each other becomes extremely unlikely. Yugoslavia was Communist Police State that had the most political prisons after the USSR in Eastern Europe when she was growing up.
The fact that she is younger than Cooper makes the odds he posed for her as a child virtually nil.
Of course it's also possible that she painted the pictures from photos taken by the abusers, and was never there in person.
pretty big assumption you made there isn't there?
The fact that the backgrounds of her paintings look very very similar to the Biltmore Estate,
I genuinely don't see this. It's a pool with tiles. And her paintings have a pool with tiles, but different. And one of them has blue tiles which looks different. Is there something more than this image?

I love how you "don't see" the ropes hanging down. Or find the fact that one of the kids looks like Cooper and one of the pools looks like his family estate pool to be odd, and cling to "they're not an exact match" as somehow evidence they are not related. If the art was commissioned by abusers, of course it would not be exact.

And the ropes are very different and the tiles are different and one pool has filtration system. So the argument this must be the other because's they are both tiled pools with ropes?
Or find the fact that one of the kids looks like Cooper
or like ten thousand other little kids. It's not a strong resemblance to Cooper at all.
If the art was commissioned by abusers, of course it would not be exact.
Oh I see. Too get the objective paintings match, you first must come up with this massive ICEBERG of Assumption and Speculation and then crash to two together in a TITANIC bit of conspiracy making AND then it starts to make sense.
If the art was commissioned by abusers, of course it would not be exact.
So the art was commissioned by abusers? And to get a painting of a house in North Carolina, you would pick an artist in Belgrade. Sounds legit. And do you not even see how you trying to have it both ways, It's not exact because they needed to hide it was art commissioned by abusers, but also they made it so close that randos on the internet could point out multiple similarities.

Sasha Lord depicted in Djurdjevic mock Madonna painting titled Passion?
How old would Lord have been in 2011 when the painting was sold?

You seriously can't believe this can you? How would Djurdjevic even know about her?

Wow. You like your longshots don't you. Are you saying Anderson Cooper posed for her as a kid?
Might I suggest this is confirmation bias. And if we employ critical thinking, we can see how important this is.

@think- @letsdothis3 @swordfish69 @kestrel9 See thread. Have we ever compared their timelines?
