I want to share the treasures I’ve discovered in the depths of life and bring them into the world before I die.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Surreal paintings on canvas, sculptures, clothing, tennis, accessories, vehicles, walls. Digital images that become animations. Where traditional craft meets movement and code.
Where do you find inspiration?Where geometry, consciousness and ancient Toltec mysticism of my Mexican roots collide with technology and unkown realities. In my memories trying to understand the functioning of space, building a new myth of the millennium. Where awareness and energy beings hack reality for life.
What would you do with $25,000?20 % in building a small dedicated studio on land I already own in Mexico. The remaining 80 % would allow me to dedicate myself full-time to creating a new cohesive series of surreal paintings on canvas, painted sculptures, and hand-built ceramics that continue my Toltec-cyber fusion. I would also finish writing my next book and launch a limited-edition print collection to reach wider collectors, along with solo and group art exhibition in Mexico City.
