Art is an escapism. Being able to create is a gift, but getting others’ reactions to your work is the best part!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love Realism because it actually looks like something or someone. It’s amazing to be able to see something and put it on paper or canvas the same way it looks in real time.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in mainly looking at celebrities. I can look at a beautiful face and think, “I want to draw them.” I like to see how close I can get to the actual reference photo. It’s a challenge as well.
What would you do with $25,000?Well of course I would pay down my debts first, then I would invest in my future and help my family out with much needed expenses.
