Nah, this seems like it would circle back around to implying a personality, given the amount of work involved in this (they look like real paintings to me). It’s a nice house with a pretty view, but they probably don’t have the kind of money you need to commission over a dozen very skilled paintings. That likely means that they’re painting them themselves, and that’s a hell of a lot more interesting than most people’s hobbies.
Like, why spend so much time on… this? Is it truly just for the meme? That’s weirdly self-sacrificing: they’re essentially spending months if not years of their time painting these just to bring a slight smile to a bunch of people’s faces. I don’t know if the utilitarian math works out there, but for him it’s definitely a loss. Is this gif itself a piece of art, representing an aspect of society with a bland and hollow house filled with memetic art placed in a landscape that looks like it used to be wilderness?
I have a feeling I’d either have a great conversation with them or I’d send them into an existential spiral (not my intention, but looking at those questions from the perspective of someone who is proud of their house and homemade art which they find fulfilling… yeeesh).
Saves your guests from needing to figure out you’ve outsourced your personality, I guess
