Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I've currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.

I'm not any kind of expert, but I've enjoyed most of Peter Doig's paintings.

I’ve always liked Ilya Repin. “Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks” is my favorite work of his.

Caravaggio - an absolute master of contrast and light. He manages to balance a painterly hand with realism in such a pleasing way. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some of his works in person, and they’re all just so impossibly smooth and polished.

DUDE!!! I spent forever looking at his works last time i saw them in person forgot his name though. Love how dark his paintings are.

I discovered this guy on Reddit almost a decade ago. I have a couple prints from him, I love the style of the exploring astronauts. His name is Flooko

Damn it feels like modern surrealism mixed with post impressionism, super dope!

I'm not someone who spends a lot of time looking at art, but I have a couple answers. In my apartment the two paintings I have hanging are Hopper's Nighthawks and Van Gogh's Café Terrace at Night.

Those are definitely vibes, the perfect art work to look at while sipping coffee.

I really love Dali, and the whole surrealist movement. Just saw two of his paintings over the weekend.
