You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Surrealism and portraits. I call it Cirque-realism. Yes I know, cheesy.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my images are inspired by the incredible performance artists of Las Vegas, who I have had the privilege of watching and working along side with for many years.
What would you do with $25,000?I would very much like to one day own a platform or gallery that helped other artists have a voice and be seen. It can be so hard for visual artist to cut through the noise of social media and be recognized for their talents, especially with the new inundation of ai and generative art. I want to preserve traditional art and talent, creativity and human skill in any way I can.
