I turn unseen thoughts into art and freeze fleeting moments into photos. Creating not just beauty, but lasting meaning
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 painting pieces with hidden details… the kind you don’t notice right away, and I love taking photos of moments and details that go unseen.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the quiet details most people overlook. Shadows, hidden textures, the way light slips across something and reveals a different story underneath. I’m drawn to darker, almost fairytale-like moods where beauty isn’t obvious at first glance. A lot of my work is about uncovering what’s hidden emotion, symbolism, small details that reward you for looking a little longer.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 as a down payment on a home for my family. Having that stability would allow me to step out of the constant cycle of living paycheck to paycheck and finally invest more of my time and energy into my art.
