Art is where the chaos goes. No plan, just raw, in-the-moment creation that brings me peace when nothing else does.
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 dark, surreal portraiture rooted in psychological and horror elements. My work lives in the space between beauty and madness—instinctive, unplanned, and driven by emotion. I transform chaos, distortion, and intrusive thought into imagery that’s both unsettling and magnetic.
Where do you find inspiration?I start with myself—every piece is rooted in my own image. From there, inspiration comes from the parts of the mind we don’t always speak about: intrusive thoughts, inner chaos, and raw emotion. I let it all surface and take form, creating work that feels both haunting and deeply personal.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest it into turning Tormented Unicorn & The Deranged Minds Society into a full-scale brand—expanding production, elevating quality, and reaching a wider audience.
