I create art to turn quiet emotions into something people can feel, remember, and carry with them long after they leave.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Expressive oil paintings that capture movement, emotion, and the quiet beauty in everyday human moments.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in human connection, music, movement, and the small emotional moments people usually overlook.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I’d create even more art that sparks conversations about human connection, celebrates our differences, and brings people together in unexpected ways. Maybe with a little more paint on my clothes too.
