So many different talented artists shared on PicsArt in 2014, but there were a few whose art really blew up in our community this past year. Today, we present PicsArt’s rising stars of 2014.

All of the most popular artists on PicsArt at some point started out with a handful of stunning images that just started appearing one day out of the blue. As they continued to create amazing artwork, the buzz spread and they garnered shares, likes, and new followers, eventually getting the recognition they deserved.

That’s what happened to the artists we’re presenting to you today. Through imagination, skill, and commitment, they went from being unknown to becoming inspirational pillars of our global community.

These are the most exciting artists that we discovered last year. Without further ado, we present your 2014 rising stars.
