And then there are celebrities who practice art, experimenting with a range of media from graphic design and performance art to painting and photography. They create exceptional works of art and exhibit them in galleries across the world, whether they are self-taught or hold a legitimate art degree in their hands.

1. Sylvester Stallone – Before putting his thoughts into words, actor Sylvester Stallone uses painting to represent his ideas or even his movie characters.
