I love to explore the presence of energy in my art—both seen and unseen—through a playful yet deliberate visual language.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Over the past eight years, I have cultivated a signature style informed by the Der Blaue Reiter movement, while maintaining a distinctly personal approach. My work spans semi-abstract to fully abstract forms, with layering as a central element, allowing each piece to develop its own unique visual language.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from exploration and the study of place, particularly cities, where dense layers of form, culture, and human influence converge to create a distinctive and compelling energy.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the funding to expand into a larger studio space, enabling both the creation of multiple large-scale works and continued mentorship within a collaborative environment. The remaining funds would support essential expenses and the acquisition of new materials to push my practice into new technical and conceptual territory.
