Art is beautiful, even when it might look provocative or ugly. If it provokes a reaction, it has served its purpose.
However, not everyone is cut out to be an artist. Creativity needs more than just drawing some lines or designing something “avant-garde”.
A subreddit called “Delusional Artists” is dedicated to shaming artists who aren’t aware of their lack of creativity and keep being delusional, as the subreddit is named.
Viral Strange has collected 40 pictures shared in this subreddit that have put these delusional artists with their shoulders on the wall.
