To me the value of art has to do with the passion and love from the artist, rather than their level of skill, creativity comes from the heart

It is true, the whole Academic Arts was torn when people didn't see or like the idealistic ways and skill sets of the works; this gave way to movements like surrealism, impressionism, abstract, postmodernism, conceptualism, etc. People flock to see a banana getting taped and eaten at a gallery.
However, in the end, it's all subjective. Value itself in these cases are subjective. If a person see no utility/benefit of a work, then it's not valuable to them and vise versa.

This is true. There are literally art galleries full of paintings of squares and splatters and we can't forget about the famous dot painting (It's literally a black dot on a canvas). Some may argue that the art is meaningless but those pieces are renowned as being the most famous paintings in the world, never mind the artist's skill level. While I don't really like minimalistic art, someone else will. That's the beauty of art, it's in the eye of the beholder.

Very interesting and complex insight! It is very difficult, if not impossible to prove such topics as "right" or "wrong". What I can do, though is to share my limited insight on this:
Short answer:
depends on your definition of value and priority? Maybe?
Long answer:
Could depend on the definition of "value".
Perhaps a higher skill level could indicate a higher quality , therefore it is valuable from a money point of view.
Perhaps value indicates attachment or meaning, therefore skill could play a lesser role.
These are just two examples out of a million, and they both still have their exceptions/different scenario.
