im autistic. im "higher functioning" as they like to call it (i dont personally like that term though), but im largely nonverbal in person and have issues functioning with other things. Niam's mother is a wonderful lady and im so happy to see that shes so supportive of his passions and isn't forcing him to sell or paint. she isn't exploiting this, she is supporting it and only sells a painting if he's alright with it. as an autistic person myself, i can really relate to Niam. Due to my "high functioning" status (again, i really dislike that term but what else am i supposed to call it) i went to university and became a "gifted student" just because of my grades but, ultimately, i had to drop out due to the overwhelmings stress and the fact that i just didn't like it. now, i paint and draw. im not a good artist but i can completely relate to Niam finding a form of communication through abstract art. i love the way paint squishes in my hands and i dont personally like using many brushes because i like the textures of the paint and canvas. my mom isnt too fond of art. i hope that one day my mom will be as supportive as his

But, that aside, it doesn't really matter if you "get it" or think it's "not art", the comment section of this video is appalling and some of the commentators should feel ashamed by the things they've written about this young artist.

Astyn abstract art is for people who have no talent. anyone can throw different colors on a canvas. only few can be a Rembrandt or a do Vinci. Good for this kid though

[@wadejohnson2725]

Well if Rembrandt already existed, what's the use in trying to be Rembrandt? If the camera exists, what's the point in saying that an artist is only valuable if they're painting something that "looks real"? If we're basing the value of people based on if they're as good as Rembrandt, then we should stop making paint because it’s not going to happen. Plus there's cameras that recreate what we see with our eyes with exact detail, so what's the point?? The thing is, he's not trying to be Rembrandt. He probably doesn't even know who that is. What's important is he's making paintings with little to no knowledge of the history of art. He just feels the need to make something. SOME people find that to be very valuable because it represents a just a very simple, very pure need to create something.

Nick Player the fact that he can't talk doesn't mean that he can't completely communicate. Many people who struggle with verbal communication apt for art to tell their story. Also, abstract art can be difficult to pull off. You need an understanding of texture, form and colour theory (to say the least).

[@aroach7461]

This is a sensitive topic, and anyone else not understanding the art, you are not alone. Just because you don't like his art work doesn't make you a bad person. Had this not been an autistic person, more people would have been openly critical about this topic. However he is autistic, and that changes the manner in which this video would be approached. I do like his art work in that sense, but i would be truthful and say that i do not like this style of art.

[@mikabrown4123]

It is similar to the work of Jackson Pollok and isn't really about the shapes(which most art is), but more about the chaotic colours and contrast. A lot of art is used to tell a story, this kind of art is used to portray chaos and feelings. To create this you need a good technique and skill to make sure the colours look stiking and don't mix together into a brown when trying to create texture. So I'd say even if he wasn't autistic that there wouldn't be a lot to critique him on. It's his emotions, his art, he will know it's flaws better than anyone else.

Charlostain Sawshades That’s the same thing with mumble rap and true meaningful rap, or Pop music and Classical music. The consensus on who likes what will always be split in the arts and that’s completely fine, however I think realism and extreme photorealistic art is more like classical music, it’s complex, there’s a lot of rules to follow and a lot of people take it as being boring, while abstract art is like pop music, it can be vivid and showcase emotions like a rap song or be absolutely horrible and meaningless like most mumble rap songs. Abstract art really doesn’t have any rules, except for maybe sticking to the colour wheel, it’s simple in its ways like Jazz and a lot of people like it.

I love his Pollock-esque ones and great to see this kid find something so amazing that gives him a focus each day :) If I could afford it I would buy one of his works for sure and have it shipped here to Europe.

People who think it's easy to just splash colors on canvas should really try it before they speak. This kid seems to grasp what colors go well, and what dont. What mix, and what dont. Half the time I've tried to make things like this I end up chucking the canvas away because the paints melt together and make aweful colors or it just looks bad lol. I really liked quite a few of the color combos he had in this video, if I had the cash I would buy some!

How wonderful. So happy to see. Such an inspiration for all parents of autistic children. I will never forget when my boy was young he painted beautifully. He had such a way with colour and use of abstract shapes, space etc. As an painter myself I could never achieve the same thing. He is now a teen and refuses to paint and it breaks my heart. My daughter also painted but now finds it too hard as now she is aware of her actions while medicated for school and lost some of her free wild artist spirit.

I'm very happy for this kid, it's great that he's able to use art as a productive outlet and that his mother is so supportive. That being said this type of abstract art is incredibly over rated, it honestly doesn't take much skill or talent to create. Young or old, autistic or neurotypical, most people could successfully produce this type of art even with limited practice.

I'm amazed at how truly beautiful that kid's paintings are! His artwork stands out. I love the colors, patterns, and designs. He works hard to live his dream and he deserves to be admired and rewarded for it. 🙂
