I began to take myself as a real artist when I realized creation is my only purpose in life. To create and spark/new inspiration and emotion
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Any, I like all media from digital to pottery. There is perseverance to be taught in every art form. The type of art has to be something close to my heart. The art I make always has symbolism, and intent with secret & personal message and behind every brush stroke. I like making the type of art that makes people think when they look at it.
Where do you find inspiration?I find strength and inspiration in my sense of identity. As a person with bpd I’ve felt like a floating light in a meat body .i lived my whole life, Without relating to any perception there is of me. I want to leave a legacy and sense of myself in this world.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d give them to my Mom Diana. My mom is also a chronically ill woman. We grew up in poverty so she did house keeping for more than ten years of her life. She suffered head trauma and developed Rheumatoid Arthritis. It has ruined her ability to drive, to be with her husband, and to go out to even do groceries because slight stress flares up her nervous system making her body hurt and freeze. I’d get her medication and a massage chair. Really just anything she’d need.
