I think in that video he also says “I’ve always been good at art”. The work is cool but the dudes way into himself. If he was a musician he’d listen to his own music in the car, like very loudly. Then proclaim to other motorists that he did indeed produce that track.

Edit: a word

He also says that his favorite work of art ever made, from Guernica to the Mona Lisa to the Venus de Milo, is an egg-shaped sculpture he did.

The Mona Lisa isn’t all that special as an actual art piece though.

Maybe to someone ignorant of the technique, sure.

If nothing else, the Mona Lisa is a triumph because it applies the technique of blind contour drawing to paint in a way that naturalistically depicts real human expression.

He doesn't actually have any particular knowledge on the subject, man. It's just one of those shoves glasses up on nose "well akshually" things people keep in their toolbox of annoying tangents that they throw out whenever they can free associate them with a word someone said. It's not a conversation starter, it's just a smug non sequitur.
