I create to expose what people hide, including myself. Art is where truth stops pretending.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create images that feel like mirrors, not pictures. If it’s too polished, it’s probably hiding something.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in tension. In the gap between who people are and who they pretend to be. That space is where truth leaks.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, the money is secondary. What matters is what I refuse to trade for it. I’d use it to go deeper, not louder.
