When I was younger I wanted to live in the artworks I looked at, shows, paintings, etc. Thus, I create art to give people that same feeling.
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 anything that evokes emotion through a story. Whether it be a painting, digital, ink, markers, any medium, I want to create a story within it. To give that artwork a meaning. Thus, when people look at that artwork they can relate to the story being told and or create their own story in their head that lets them relate to what they are looking at. My favorite art to create is anything that gives people a reason to look.
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration from my life, especially my father. He was the first person to introduce me to the arts, when I was younger he would teach me new techniques, that’s where my love for creating began. He always wanted to be an artist, and passed that wish onto me, it feels. That’s where my inspiration comes from. Family and friends who have supported me and my work since I was young, they have always inspired me to continue on and have caused me to create a lot of my favorite pieces.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to receive $25,000 I would immediately put it towards my college. Schooling has always come first to me, I want to pursue the arts, to finally achieve that goal of going to school and do what I love. College has become more expensive over the years, to receive such a large amount of money, would pay for the rest of my schooling and then some. It would give a big relief to my family, therefore, I would put the $25,000 towards my college education.
