I don’t want to create things-I have to. It’s a form of sustenance. Like sleeping, eating, exercising... Without it my soul would atrophy
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I can't say that I have one specific favorite. My first love was writing, I always return to it. However paintong sketching sculpting have all found their place in my life. I work on series' that speak to me often creating 10-20 pieces in one style before moving on to another.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiriation is everywhere, I find that all I need to to is open myself up and be cognizant of that as often as possible. Creativity, imagination is like a muscle it can be exercised with the will to do so. And when I'm fortunate enough that someone telle me they found meaning in something I created it inspires me to do it again.
What would you do with $25,000?2500 would get donated to the foundation as it was responisble for my winning the money. 5k would go to an overdue vacation and gifts for several loved ones. The rest (after taxes) would be reinvested into my artwork, materials, studio space etc.
