I create art to not only try to express how I see the natural world around me, but also to reveal lost worlds long extinct.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
The art that I love to create the most are oil painting pieces that combine the realism of modern nature with the imagination of extinct worlds. I like to combine a realistic style with a slight impressionistic aesthetic in some sections of the paintings to really tap into that childlike wonder that extinct animals bring. I also enjoy making smaller studies with graphite
Where do you find inspiration?I find the most inspiration in the beauty of wildlife all around me. I see the incredible diversity of behaviors of animals all around the world and can’t help but speculate how these creatures came from similar animals like dinosaurs long extinct. I also love to tap into the beauty of the earth’s natural lighting and atmosphere from clouds to dark fogs to beautiful orange sunsets.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would be an absolute blessing and would kickstart my life beyond belief. I am a 20 year old aspiring artist with dreams of someday creating art for a living, or even working with organizations like National Geographic and other paleontological studies to help bring new discoveries and extinct animals back to life. That amount of money would be an immeasurable step in my journey, and would help me create a strong foundation while I move forward in life.
