If you are looking for inspiration from artists who are changing the meaning of art. Then you need to check out these accounts. Simply put, digital art is an art that has been created in this digital age.

Not many museums or physical art spaces have been taking this new form of visual culture as a serious subject matter. However, in the last 10 years, this concept has changed. Now many venues around the world are embracing this creative area and the artists within it.

Many of us think of art as being bound to a creative box. A box holding the elements of the visual and the performing arts from dance to design, paintings, sculpture, music of all kinds to theatre. But, another type of art has been developing and transitioning along with our fast-paced evolving society – digital art.

Digital art is a term and a practice that has been prevalent in the museums and contemporary art sectors since the 1960s. As technological advances mean that digital innovations are now pervading many more areas of our lives, the arts industry is starting to take the work of artists working in the digital realm by storm.

One platform that thrives on this category, is of course the social media platform Instagram. Now, digital art is the new now. Not only can we escape into online worlds created by virtual reality and collect digital tokens via NFT’s (non-fungible tokens) but our metaverse is giving artists a way to stay in the creative game through platforms like Instagram. 

If you love getting sucked into the digital art world then here are five Instagram accounts that you need to follow:

“If you enjoy 3D motion graphics, Baltay showcases pastel animation that’s unexpected, silly, but surely many hours of work,” says Esquire. These short video clips are eye-catching and highly unique. With 122,000 dedicated followers under his belt, this 27-year-old American NFT artist “nimbly draws the line between the beautiful and grotesque, the familiar and surreal, and the logical and absurd.”
