I create art because it's something I can't live without. I have ideas in my head and being able to bring them to life is a great privilege
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to create surrealist, semi-realistic art. It allows me to establish a comprehensible subject while still having the freedom to create something unique and otherworldly.
Where do you find inspiration?I primarily find inspiration in accessible media. For example, TV, culture, ballet, etc. It's hard to say whether I have a primary inspirational outlet, but I typically create work about something I find interesting.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would work to grow and advertise myself as a brand. I'd establish myself as a commission and originals artist. I would use the money toward rent of a studio or the purchase of additional supplies. The money would allow me to direct more time and focus into my work without anxieties about self sustaining or the general costs of life.
