I don't know any other way to live. It's pretty much a necessity. Creating is as essential as breathing and could not live any other way.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love how handy photography and digital media is because I can bring my camera and laptop anywhere with me and is more difficult to carry on other physical media as easily but I love mixed media and it feels great to create something with your hands and hold it in 3D.
Where do you find inspiration?Anywhere. In music, nature, people's conversations, animals, in the sky, rivers, in the shower, in books and in art of course. Anything can bring an idea and move me to tears out of nowhere. Plenty of times the best ideas come at random times, and that's part of the magic.
What would you do with $25,000?I would fly my mum to visit me. I've been living in Ireland for the last 7 years and I want her to see this beautiful country. My dad passed away 6 years ago and unfortunately that dream will never come true but this other one still has a chance. I would donate some part to support Palestinians and other humanitarian causes and save some money to keep building my art studio.
