When I was younger I was bullied by piers. I started to paint because of my father and sister. Now every painting is dedicated to them.
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 medium is painting but my favorite style is surrealism or abstract. So that’s what I do whatever is in my head I create. My painting is my story.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from being outside, being near loved ones, sometimes it’s in my dreams and I have to get it out.
What would you do with $25,000?If I win I would by an art shed so I can can continue to paint and spread my artistic abilities, and the rest I would save so my children can grow up with a better future instead of making it day by day as I do.
