I’ve always loved to express my passion for realism through paintings. Every minute counts, even if it isn’t seen.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create is realism, especially portraits and detailed objects. I enjoy making my work look as lifelike as possible. I want people to question whether it was captured in a photograph or drawn by hand.
Where do you find inspiration?I often use Pinterest for reference images and photos In my gallery if I want to paint people I am close too. What inspired me the most is studying the details like lighting, shadows, and textures that makes it look real. I use those elements to create that realistic feel in my artwork.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to win $25,000, I would use it to start my own art business, promote my artwork, and move forward to an art school to continue my passion for art.
