I create art because it is how I visually express feelings and something that I can only grow in which brings me a lot of joy.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My personal favorite is creating something that can make someone feel something that leaves it up to their interpretation. I love using oil paints, graphite, and charcoal in my work because it helps me create an abstract flow throughout a realistic piece.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw the most inspiration from my childhood and the people who surround me. I am very inspired by the life stories of those surround me and I hope to create work that can relate to the lives of others.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to get through school and hopefully further my learning through art. I would love to be able to get through schooling with little to no debt so that I can start off my career without the stress of debt. I’d also love to travel and explore one day visiting historical museums and monuments. For me the 25,000 dollars would help me monumentally with beginning my adulthood.
