I love art because art is life itself. While growing up poor and battling depression my art was often all i had to release. It shaped me.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
As a child i've allways been fascinated with faces. For me there are two, the face we wear to hide ourselves and the one that is revealed during times of great emotion. Through my art I seek to explore this theme, convey powerfull emotions and potentially reveal the inner face of you the viewer.
Where do you find inspiration?Art is a reflection of life as one begets another. The journey of my life and the testimoney of others shape the images that I create. In return I become ever more inspired when the images I create impact or shape the perspective of those who veiw them. Many of my most powerful works have come during battles of depression or times of homelessness. Ultimately I attribute inspiration to the source above as even I am often left both suprised and impacted by some of the works i create.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 is lifechanging for someone like me. Art has allways been my greatest asset and in manycases the only asset I have owned. With such an investment in my art I will be able to expand my reach exponentially and produce pieces in a matter of months; I would be able to create merchandise, greatly expand social media presence, create large framed paintings, create art based nft's, and set up a site to sell my art. Ultimately I shall dedicate every moment in my life to paying it forward.
