I create to let movement lead—allowing gravity, energy, and emotion to shape the final story.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am most drawn to abstract painting that captures motion and emotion. Using gravity-driven techniques, I guide the material while allowing natural forces to influence the outcome. The process becomes a dialogue between control and surrender, resulting in layered works that reflect energy, intuition, and transformation.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by natural movement—gravity, flow, and the unpredictable beauty of organic processes. Observing how elements interact in nature informs how I work with paint, allowing energy, motion, and emotion to emerge naturally within each composition.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the funding in high-quality materials and surfaces that allow me to continue experimenting with scale and technique. A significant portion would support organizing and participating in exhibitions, covering production, transportation, and installation costs so my work can be experienced by wider audiences.
