My passion with engaging and creating for and with our communities so i can one day pass down this creative insight to a younger generation
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My work explores urban environments, capturing the energy, movement, and layered textures found within city spaces. I aim to create immersive experiences that invite viewers to step into a constructed atmosphere where color, rhythm, and visual complexity reflect the vibrancy of urban life. Through this approach, I seek to evoke a sense of nostalgia, recalling the feeling of walking through a city filled with stories, culture, and constant motion.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes deeply from my family, who are central to my life and creative drive. My parents have worked tirelessly to provide me with the opportunities I have today, despite not having access to formal college education. Their resilience, dedication, and sacrifices have shaped my values and motivated me to pursue my goals with purpose and discipline. Everything I do is grounded in a desire to honor their efforts and one day give back to them in meaningful ways.
What would you do with $25,000?I relocated from Texas to Wisconsin this year to pursue my goal of earning a master’s degree and, in the long term, becoming a professor at the university level. This transition has been both intentional and meaningful, as I am deeply committed to advancing my education and artistic practice. However, due to current economic conditions, I have faced significant financial challenges while continuing to support my academic and creative work. This would beneficial by helping me continue this dream.
