I live to create art to explore my creativity and to grow, heal and inspire.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m especially drawn to realism, particularly in portrait art. I love working with graphite and charcoal because they allow me to focus on fine details, shading, and capturing lifelike expressions. There’s something really meaningful about bringing a face or subject to life on paper—it feels both technical and emotional at the same time. I do paints but I still lack and need a lot improvements.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my family, friends, and fellow artists. Their support helps me appreciate and love my work even more. I also enjoy seeing others grow as artists—it motivates me and keeps my passion for art alive..
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it for the good things, share for the needs of my family, my church and I would love to use this opportunity to fly back to Philippines and also use the money to help other artist who can’t buy their materials and support my Filipino Artist community to inspire more new Artist.
