As a self taught artist, art is the form where I can express my deepest emotions and resonate with others. Im more authentic when creating.
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 surreal realism art with a message that convey human connection. I like to create things that reminds others of their self and a route to ecaspe a harsh world
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature and in the faces of authentic people. I get inspiration from music, as the sounds fuse together into my paint. Music escorts me into the proper head space
What would you do with $25,000?My dream is to use the money to fund an art exhibit. Buy the materials and equipment I need for my studio. I would feel more relaxed from financial pressures. I will teach small classes to keep money flowing into the studio. I would create art exhibits and assist other artists that needs to be seen. I will buy the top tier membership at MOCA. Through art alone, I will flip the $25,000 into so much more, as it will give me the opportunity to set up a money flow. ❤️
