Creating art lets me turn feelings into something real. It’s my escape, my voice, and the one place I feel completely free.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Abstract surrealism - combining a few different concepts together which altogether symbolize a bigger picture. I also love painting anime because of its vibrant colors.
Where do you find inspiration?From real life experiences and emotions, such as heartbreak, happy moments, nostalgia, and feelings that are verbally hard to explain. As someone who always struggled to express herself as a child and later as an adult who couldn't afford therapy at one point, art really became my voice and outlet to vent about my feelings.
What would you do with $25,000?I'd use some of the money to initially invest in an art studio and buy. I'd love to have a space specifically for my art, where I can create freely without worrying about fumes or chemicals. I currently use my bedroom as my studio and sometimes that can be a bit difficult. I'd use the rest to invest into better supplies and eventually create a non-profit to teach classes in my studio to students who are aspiring artists like myself.
