I express or articulate feelings and emotions through subtext mostly in fantasy art. I want to create visual sanctuaries and inspiration.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m passionate about creating fantasy-inspired charcoal and acrylic art rooted in medieval themes. My work blends the mystique of imagined worlds with the raw elegance of traditional mediums, capturing timeless stories through detailed, expressive visuals.
Where do you find inspiration?Much of my inspiration comes from personal experiences and the emotions they evoke. My art often reflects where I am in life—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I use my creative process as a way to explore and express those inner states, aiming to connect with others who may see their own stories and feelings reflected in my work.
What would you do with $25,000?I’m getting married this year, and with $25,000, I’d love to invest in both my future and my passion. I’d use the funds to grow my art business alongside my partner—expanding our creative studio, upgrading equipment, and reaching new audiences. It would be a meaningful way to build something lasting together, blending our personal and professional dreams.
