I create art because it’s how I make sense of life. It’s where I put everything I’ve been through, what I see, and how I feel.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create figurative and abstract work that merges narrative with texture and movement. Using paint, spray paint, and airbrush, I build layered compositions rooted in culture, memory, and identity.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in real life old photos of family, childhood memories, music, and the culture I come from. Hair, fashion, street culture , and everyday moments all tell stories, and I translate those into visual form.
What would you do with $25,000?I would reinvest it into my art and launch my nonprofit, creating curated art experiences that center community and culture. And lastly invest in my 2 sons future.
