Art has always been about catching the eye and stirring emotion — whether it hangs in a gallery or scrolls past on your phone screen. If Vincent van Gogh were alive today, his vibrant colors and raw emotional brushstrokes would dominate Instagram’s algorithm. His “Starry Night” would rack up likes the way memes go viral, not because it’s trendy, but because it makes people feel something instantly.
Social media, at its core, rewards the same qualities great art has always demanded: contrast, emotion, storytelling. Artists who understand this don’t just paint or sculpt — they craft digital identities that command attention in the crowded online world.
The next great art revolution may not take place in museums or auction houses. It might unfold on TikTok, Instagram, or some platform that hasn’t been invented yet — a place where artists learn to balance tradition with the bold new rules of visibility.
