Capturing the fractured beauty of the human spirit through faces shaped by joy, suffering, and resilience.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to create unique content that comes from my own experiences, art that only I can create.
Where do you find inspiration?I spend enormous time in public places watching people and trying to understand and relate to people’s emotions and reactions. They inspire me and my art. Every face tells a story of survival, sorrow, strength, and beauty. No matter how fractured, every face reveals beauty. Abstract portraits of resilience, emotion, and the hidden beauty within human imperfection.
What would you do with $25,000?I would dedicate myself to art full time.
