the issue is the IG algorithm has profiled your account as an artist account based on who keeps engaging with it, and once that’s locked in it just keeps serving you to other artists who lurk. process reels and painting time-lapses are “for artists” signals even when you mean them to be approachable. tough to break out without aggressive content-pivot signaling. I had the same issue, but in a different space
separate but bigger thing, most prints buyers don’t actually find art on instagram, they find it on pinterest. that’s literally what pinterest is for, discovering art people want to print and buy. might be worth testing pinterest with your existing work before spending more months trying to fix the wrong channel
