Surrealism has always been one of my favorite eras of art. With a wide arrange of artist forms different backgrounds and the many ways these artist visualize their view on surrealism really captivates me. Surrealism is the type of art that I create, and it’s the outlet that I use to convey my ideas, thoughts and desires throughout any medium.
Where do you find inspiration?I usually find my inspiration through music, my dreams, or my environment. Although one thing I always try to do whenever I’m inspired is to look at the pieces from my favorite artist. From Francis Bacon, Zdzslaw Beksinksi, and Dorothy Tanning, these are the artist that I believe are the best in visualizing their artistic style and I take a lot of inspiration from them.
What would you do with $25,000?After me and my family went through a tough financial and emotional trauma from the detaining of my dad from ICE, I will use the money to help pay off the debt that me and my family have accumulated from the whole ordeal. I will also invest a portion of the money to my college fund as paying for tuition for a university or art school is expensive.
