Some good arguments. But Ariandel didnt paint the world. He is mentioned as the restorer of this world. So his task is protecting the world from a renewing as he and Friede Chose rot over fire/renewal. As the painted world mirrors the Outside world its like someone refused kindling the flame and rot/darkness spread upon the world.Vilhelm was ordered to lock the painter away and stop renewal.if you look at the paintings of Friede in the chapel you can see fire in all of them as a proof of the prophecy the painter showed Friede. Did we know that Ariamis has burned? I you spare Priscilla in DS1 this world and all inhabitants could still live and we have no access to the room with the painting in Anor Londo to check the status of the painting. Ariandels world simply have to be burned to start a new cycle cause Friede /Ariandel let it rot. I think the "master" of the paintings must be one with great might like Velka (Ariamis is full of Items and statues of Velka).
