Hello. My nickname is Sila. I am Kurdish from Turkey, and l live in United States. I love being able to tell my life story through art .
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am not a trained artist by any means, but l do have a childhood stories that need to be told through illustration. I am a middle child of 3 girls, and we were abused and never given any rights, since we were born girls. My older sister was sold to a husband, my younger baby sister was raised by my mother side and traded for a wife for her mother brother. I like to draw my memory but want to become like Vincent Van Gogh style with any medium..
Where do you find inspiration?I never knew how the world was before l start to draw. In 2019 when Covid hit l thought about illustration of all my child hood, but after trying, l knew l was not that good so l took a break for now —-and tried diffrent medium after that the more l color the more l saw everyting differently in good way. Now I try to take pictures of anything's l like. Then observe it for the future to draw keep or paint it. So to say l collect everyting l like now to create something from it in the future.
What would you do with $25,000?More art supply and maybe more trips to the art museum.
