Creating art allows me to build quiet scenes that carry me somewhere calmer than the noise in my mind.
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 type of art to create is a combination of fantasy and emotional realism. I create imagined scenes that feel believable and use nature to reflect real emotion.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my own emotions, blending them with fairy tales, folklore, and stories from different cultures. I’m also inspired by nature and the moments it can quietly reflect.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000, I would invest in quality materials to create stronger artwork and in marketing to gain exposure of my work. I would also explore new environments for inspiration and give back by helping students who can’t afford art supplies so they can still create and express themselves through art.
