    I'm certainly not an art history buff. But I have some sense of aesthetics, I like to believe.

    I love Van Gogh's "Starry Night":

    And Albrecht Durer's religious pieces:

    But I also really enjoy the surrealistic, such as those of Mark Ryden's:

    And, of course, Salvadore Dali:

    What about the rest of you? What art, artists or artistic styles move you?

    I love the impressionist style especially the paintings of its early exponents Renoir and Monet. I also like the famous Spanish painters Picasso and Dali.

    My art teacher introduced me to Sorolla. Some call him an Impressionist.

    Ah another Mark Ryden fan, cool. I love Dali's stuff too.

    I'm quite into a contemporary artist called David Shrigley. They're really lo-fi, often silly, sometimes profound http://www.davidshrigley.com

    I like a photographer called Margot Knight. http://www.margotknight.com

    I like Rene Magritte too. His stuff has a real sense of fun.

    Art is one of my passions so I enjoy all forms and styles... even if I think it's rubbish at least I have an opinion on it.

    Ah yeah, Alex Grey! Fantastic!

    Friedensreich Hundertwasser? Not really familiar with his work. But I see he's quite the architect.
