I like to create art with purpose & intention, where every detail speaks, inviting transformation & helping others find their creative voice
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’d say mixed media, because as someone who works across different art forms, it expands the possibilities for each piece and allows me to better communicate the message behind it without feeling confined to one approach. It gives me the freedom to be intentional with how I express what I see and want to share, making each piece feel more complete and personal.
Where do you find inspiration?As someone who believes in God, I’m constantly inspired by His creation, approaching the world with curiosity and wonder, where even something as simple as the sky can spark an idea. I’m an admirer of nature and how each detail carries its own process and purpose. My heart behind each piece is to spark change by inviting people to view life from that same perspective, as part of His creation.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to win, I would invest it into expanding my reach so my work can impact more people. In a time where the world needs more creative voices, I want to use my art to spark perspective, awaken purpose, and inspire change in a way that not only expands my reach, but also inspires others to discover their own creative voice and create with that same intention.
