A fancy name for painting depends on context whether you mean artistic work or act of painting. For artistic painting as artwork, fancy names include fine art, oeuvre, masterpiece, magnum opus if greatest work, canvas, work of art, art piece, composition, creation, objet d'art, and in French tableau. For types, you could use fresco for wall painting, mural for large wall, diptych or triptych for multi-panel, portrait, landscape, still life, or abstract. For act of painting houses, fancy terms include interior finishing, decorative finishing, surface finishing, color application, and faux finishing for decorative techniques. For painting as profession, you could say decorative arts, interior embellishment, or applied art. More elevated synonyms include artistic rendering, pictorial representation, or visual expression. If you want to sound sophisticated, you could call painting an artistic composition, a painted canvas, or a work of fine art. For example, instead of saying nice painting, you could say exquisite tableau or stunning oeuvre. In galleries, paintings are called works, pieces, or collections. So fancy name could be masterpiece for best work or fine art composition for general fancy term.
