Time passes, things fade, people disappear, but art remains. I create art to interpret memory onto paper.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to create stippling pieces. It requires focus, patience, and dedication, among many things, and in the end, all the dots come together to make one beautiful piece.
Where do you find inspiration?There are two answers to this: 1. Music; it often helps me feel audibly what I want to create visually. 2. I was diagnosed with scoliosis in middle school, picked up a sketchbook in high school, as life started to have limitations. I later went on to study and receive my Bachelor’s at the Art Institutes, only to have been defrauded by the school. A year after graduating, my school didn’t exist, and I’d go on to never work where my passion was. I can not let this talent go to waste w/o trying.
What would you do with $25,000?I would finally sleep peacefully for one night… and in the in the morning, I would help my family, for everything. Everything I achieve, i would not have been able to without their love and their support. I owe it all to them for everything they’ve done for me.
