The only way I can emote some sort of sense and communicate all the feelings I have is to express them through art for others to interpret.
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 driven to create work that evokes deep emotion and introspection. Whether through photography or illustration, my goal is to draw viewers in, make them feel something profound, and leave them reflecting long after they’ve looked away.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m drawn to the darker, less conventional sides of life—subjects that aren’t always seen as beautiful. Where others may overlook or dismiss them, I find depth and meaning. This is where art, to me, has the most power to thrive.
What would you do with $25,000?To be honest, I might not have the most fun answer & I might be the underdog here. Hopefully, the plight of the underdog isn’t dead YET. Life’s been hard to keep up with and even buying groceries or paying bills can be a challenge. This money would really help me live life less stressed out as a struggling artist fighting AI in the field and it would help me invest in getting better equipment to keep up with competition. The rest goes to investments to keep growing!
