Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade art influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. On a worldwide art ranking there is no target country, so the fit component reads authority from the creator's own bio instead of an audience-location share, and carries less weight because a bio is a claim rather than a measurement. The rest of the score is engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

10%of the score

Niche authority

What the creator's own bio claims about art. Stating professional status scores full marks.

36%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

36%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

18%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the median for Instagram accounts of the same size worldwide, from our Creator Economy Report 2026 (full year 2025): 10-50K: 0.80% · 50-100K: 0.73% · 100-500K: 1.02% · 500K-1M: 1.10% · 1M+: 1.20%.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is global, because this page ranks accounts from every country.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These cover what counts as an art account here, why the follower band sits where it does, and what the score does and does not measure.

01What counts as an art account on this page?

An account counts here when its own bio states a personal practice in painting, illustration, sculpture, craft, photography, or digital and AI art. A business, an institution, a curated repost page, or a bio where art shows up only as a passing tag behind another trade does not count, and each such case was removed.

02Why does the follower band run from 350,000 to 1,000,000?

The 350,000-to-1,000,000 follower band defines this selection. The 25 published accounts met its art-practice, quality and editorial checks; creators outside the band were not ranked here.

03Why is there no country or audience-location figure on these cards?

No single country anchors a worldwide page, so nothing here measures a location share. What a creator's bio claims about art stands in for it instead, weighted from a stated professional credential down to a bare mention, and that signal counts for less in the index than a measured audience location would.

04How large are these accounts?

The 25 cards run from 350,765 to 902,358 followers. Rank 9 holds the smallest account and rank 11 the largest, which is the whole point of an index built on engagement, reach and a real audience rather than a straight follower sort.

05Why don't galleries, agencies, tattoo or nail artists, or print shops appear on this list?

They are institutions, agencies, or belong to a separate beauty or food-craft niche rather than an individual working in visual art, and every one found in the field was removed on that basis no matter how it scored, leaving only accounts with an identifiable working practice behind them.

06What can the score not tell me?

Nothing here speaks to day rate, current booking availability, or whether a creator's latest posts happen to fit a given brief. The index is four measurements pulled on one day and compared only against the other 24 cards on this page, so treat it as a starting point rather than a final answer.
