Why are some artwork sold for millions that look like some child splashed colors at random on a canvas?

Art in that form is funky. Usually, it’s less about what’s actually on the canvas, more about what the artist is trying to convey or what the person experiencing the art feels or thinks about. If when you look at a painting and it makes you think of something, even if it’s not entirely what the artist intended, the art did it’s job. The value of a piece is usually just what someone who has a lot of money and really likes what the piece says to them decides its value is at auction.
I’d recommend looking at some art, jackson Pollock gets a lot of hate for his stuff being just splashes on a canvas. Theres one piece called “blue seaweed” when I looked at it for the first time, without knowing its name it made me think about the Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland, where I’m originally from. It made me think about going on trips there with my parents and childhood memories.
That’s what art is for.
