Ever feel like if you lived in another time, you and a famous artist might have been best friends? Maybe even co-conspirators in some wild creative adventure? Turns out, your personality might be the clue. Here’s a look at which classic artist you might secretly be, just based on how you move through the world.
If you’re the type who feels everything in full color, who gets swept away by ideas and emotions and doesn’t mind if things get a little messy, you’re probably a Vincent van Gogh at heart. You don’t just live life, you feel it. Every sunset, every heartbreak, every moment of wonder — it all hits you straight in the chest. Sure, it can be overwhelming sometimes, but honestly, it’s what makes you unforgettable.
If your brain never slows down and you’re constantly dreaming up new projects, new inventions, new everything, you’re definitely giving Leonardo da Vinci energy. You’re the curious one in the group, the person who’s always got some strange new hobby or random fact to share. People might not always get what you’re doing, but they’re definitely impressed when they see what you’ve built.
If you’ve been through a lot but still walk into every room with your head held high and your truth worn proudly, Frida Kahlo is basically your soul twin. You’re not here to put on a mask for anyone. You turn your hardest moments into fuel, and somehow, you make even the most painful stories beautiful.
If you can’t stand being boxed in, if rules make you itchy and you’re always looking for the next big adventure, you’re living with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s spirit. You’d rather paint outside the lines — literally and figuratively. You move fast, you take risks, and even if not everyone understands your style, no one can deny your fire.
And if you’re someone who feels things deeply but doesn’t always know how to put it into words, you’re right there with Alexej von Jawlensky. You might not be the loudest voice in the room, but when you do express yourself, it’s powerful. People can sense the layers in you, even if you don’t spell them out.
At the end of the day, art is just another way of telling the truth about who we are. Somewhere out there, one of these artists lived a life that looks a lot like yours. So who’s your match?
