Art is my escape from the real world and a way to express myself free of judgement. It’s where I’m happiest.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art is realism. I love drawing faces, expressions, details, I enjoy taking my time capturing it all on paper and the satisfaction I feel when I see it come to life. There’s just something fascinating about the details of the human body and it all tells that person’s story.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from what I love. I love movies, shows, music, my family, and friends. I draw what I love and what makes me happy, it makes me feel fulfilled in a way nothing else can.
What would you do with $25,000?The first thing would be to buy myself a car, I’ve been struggling to go around and I would use the rest of that money to finish college. Not having a car makes that difficult so that would be my main priority. Other than that? Buy some new art supplies and go out for a roadtrip to capture more beauty in the world.
