It was awesome! I looked a bit into it and it looks like there are thousands of people just like him where he is: the dafen village in shenzhen. It looks like you can buy these reproductions directly on aliexpress but also order paintings based on pictures of yourself (although I couldn’t find where and the examples I looked at seemed to indicate that you should stick to a reproduction).

"I've painted Van Gogh for 20 years but all my work together isn't worth one piece in the museum."

It's sad that he discovers that he just copies but never created something his own. I hope for him that he will some day.

Great documentary!

Did he say his work was real or a copy? If defrauding then I can't be sympathetic.

It would be an impressive achievement indeed to sell 90,000 originals without anyone noticing.
