I am passionate about art making because it enables me to form a deeper connection with the world that I am a part of.
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 art to make is expressive figurative work and also portraits of people that are emotionally significant to me.
Where do you find inspiration?I try to paint the world that I know. All my art is about people, places, and even food that I have experienced in real life .
What would you do with $25,000?I desperately need to fix my house. That is the real answer, I would pay my mom back some money that I owe her too. With what I had left I'd continue to make art and to live.
