In this guide, we’ll show you how to get access to the biggest collective Midjourney styles reference with over 2,000 famous artists from around the world.

Over 2,000 Artist Styles for Midjourney
When you start creating your first images in Midjourney, the learning curve is quite steep.
Within a relatively short period of time, you figure out what Midjourney’s AI is capable of and where it has its limitations.
One of the most difficult parts of crafting Midjourney prompts is nailing down the exact style that you want.
If you check out the Midjourney web app, you’ll see that there are various sections that provide references for certain Midjourney art styles.
Unfortunately, we never found this section of the site to be particularly user-friendly since it’s difficult to navigate.
Luckily, the Midjourney community is extremely vibrant and collaborative and they’ve done an excellent job of putting together an absolutely massive list of Midjourney styles for over 2,000 artists.
For each artist, the list provides 3 different types of sample images:
- Artwork by the artists
- Portrait of a person by the artist
- Landscape or environment design by the artist
For each one of these categories, it gives you 4 examples to look at.
Bear in mind, this isn’t actual artwork by the artist but rather the Midjourney AI’s interpretation of what it would look like if the artist created these.
Key Points (tl;dr)

However, you can take your control and style to the next level by mixing in art styles of famous and less famous artists from around the world.
