I create art as a form of therapy for myself and to make sense of my feelings in the moment
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create is just any work that comes from the emotions I feel and the fashion designs I sometimes choose for characters I imagine
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday life, my emotions, conversations, music, and even small moments that most people overlook. I’m also inspired by people and the way they express themselves, whether through style, personality, or movement. Sometimes inspiration comes from within, especially when I’m trying to understand my own thoughts and feelings.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to support my education, as my main goal is to become a veterinarian. It would help with tuition, books, and other expenses, allowing me to focus on my studies without as much financial stress. While art is important to me, I see it as something that supports me emotionally, while my education helps me build my future.
