I create art because it's what brings meaning into my world; to not just live but love life and appreciate it's uniqueness.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Art made from the truest expression of myself and the life around me; The kind of art that touches you or others. This for me can look like painting, drawings, or music as long as it comes from the same place of passion and love. You can tell when art has that and it's something I strive for and the thing that keeps me going.
Where do you find inspiration?Before I knew God I was lost in my misery and each day was a battle to find a reason to live. I didn't know how to cope, but I did know art, so I poured it all out on paper, on canvas. I found reason in these times of desperation, to reinvent darkness into something beautiful I can understand. I've always had this passion inside me, but now I create too because I found love and truth. God put this fire inside me and I burn to create.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to further my art in the world and the things I learned throughout my journey. I want to reach people and inspire, to touch the broken hearted and to share the beauty I found. I want to celebrate this given ability that we have to create.
