Assyrian artist speaking 4 languages. I use art to celebrate culture, creativity, and meaningful connections.
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 art to create is acrylic painting that brings people together. I love creating simple, expressive paintings that anyone can enjoy, even beginners. Through my paint events, I focus on making art fun, relaxing, and accessible so people can connect, create, and leave feeling proud of what they made.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people and everyday moments. Seeing someone discover their creativity for the first time inspires me the most. I’m also inspired by culture, community, and the joy that art can bring when people gather, create, and share meaningful experiences together.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to open an art café where people can relax, drink coffee, and create art together. It would be a welcoming space for paint nights, workshops, and community events where anyone(no matter their experience) can express themselves and connect through creativity.
