I created art to stop thinking and to start listening.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Realistic art with color pencils or a graphite, I find these easy for me to stablish the mood/vibe I see in the art piece.
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh and Fransisco Goya. The bright tones from Vincent helps me see the beauty around me and the dark ambient from some of Goya helps me understand and execute more ugly things around. Call it my "Yin and Yang".
What would you do with $25,000?As a blue collar worker, I would come back home to my family and find me a steady job where I can come home everyday and have time to focus on my art to try and make a living out of it.
