I create art as a form of release of feeling, conclusions, predictions, deep observ; above all, as a reporter of my time, as journalists do.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Visual art, although I love and enjoy all type of art manifestations: music, dance, poetry, architecture, and so on. As a visual artist, I feel confortable exploring all tecniques and forms of expression: I draw, paint, sculpt, and print; depending on the project, the message I wish to deliver, and how my art should interact with the audience.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in daily life; the power of breathing, from reading in between the lines. From nature; the wind , the sun, the seasons' cycle, the natural colors, the rain, the misty foggy... From daily life's interactions, the questionings, the obstacles, from the struggles and extasis. I find inspiration from humankind's drama, and from the good moments that come our ways.
What would you do with $25,000?I would catch up with my rent to avoid eviction, pay off my car, update personal obligations, pay off all loans, invest in social media; have my Webpage reactivated in e-commerce, invest in Instagram marketing tools to promote sales, take care of my health. Get into a box and produce a solo show; the promotions, consequence of being chosen, would certainly take me to the spotlight.
