For me, it’s been a way life. The color and subjects communicate my feelings and my own subconscious words never could.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Mostly using acrylic base with a mixture of heavy body and mediums. I tend to focus on subjects with a realistic, abstract, and surreal elements simultaneously. If you have any inquiries about these originals please email [email protected]!
Where do you find inspiration?Picasso, Francisco de Goya, Caravaggio, and Jackson Pollock. I recently visited Spain and saw a lot of work from these artists. It was a dream but I couldn’t take any photos and honestly being able to travel and see such iconic work was a blessing that I never thought would be possible.
What would you do with $25,000?It would continue to fuel my costs and investment in my craft. The cost to create aside from time add up it’s a constant push and pull in this economy. I worked in a gallery in Santa Monica for some time but had to eventually leave because I couldn’t afford rent and visibility.
