You've already made it. Taste is the only talent in art, and you have it.

You just need to develop Stockholm Syndrome for art.
Allow it to hold you hostage, learn the fundamentals. steal every fucking technique you like, copy artists greater than you, don't try to re-invent the wheel. Always spend more time drawing and painting than reading tutorials, etc.
Try literally any style, technique, method etc. of doing something that interests you, keep what you like, discard what you don't, but NEVER throw away the fundamentals.

Think of the fundamentals as the trials and tribulations one must go through to call themselves a competent artist.

Make sure you are physically healthy enough to give your life to art education. Always work slightly more than you think you can each time. Always push yourself to pay attention to everything you see. Constantly ask yourself, "How would I go about drawing/painting this or that?" Eventually this question changes. you already know how you'd draw or paint anything, and now you ask "what's stopping me?" in an attempt to troubleshoot your flaws.

None of this is fun, but the feeling of accomplishment you get from problem solving is it's own reward. A quiet, humble one rarely seen outside of this discipline.

>How do I go about becoming the best artist alive?

take what you need, then leave this place. Run away, and don't look back.
