Dismantled motorcycles, metal, and wood intrigue my mind. Nostalgic expression to feel alive, let my mind wonder and create my imagination.
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 comes from other people's passions, as well as bits and pieces of material that have once been used, and now inhabit a new place in the world. My art form is set up for others where they can use their own imagination within the completed object. Most importantly, my favorite art is whenever my creation puts a smile on someone's face. I love when an art form becomes a nostalgic rememberance, landmark or a different way of thinking, as we create our own destiny.
Where do you find inspiration?When I see objects that can still be used in this world but are discarded, my gears start turning and I begin to see ways that I can bring them back into play. Sometimes my inspiration comes from nature, while other times it comes from my imagination and desire to create something from nothing, and make the world a better place at the same time. It might be a feeling, goosebumps or an individual's idea of what they might want, and I will create something that they never knew they needed.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would be extremely beneficial for myself, family and friends. For example: - Improvements to my workspace and tools to continue creating my imagination - Investments for my hooligans that are starting to living independently and need a little bit more security to thrive - Support the non-profit organizations that have helped provide materials and inspire my passion for art - Travel to inspirational destinations/put my artwork in front of others to enjoy, while learning about their art.
