Creating art is therapeutic for me. Sometimes words alone are not enough to express what I’m feeling.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy working with acrylic paint and oil pastels because they allow me to create expressive, emotional pieces with bold colors and texture. I especially love creating portraits and artwork inspired by everyday life, emotions, and human connection.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through observing the world around me, connecting with people’s shared struggles and emotions, and creating work others can relate to. Nature also brings me a sense of peace and inspiration, especially during difficult moments in life.
What would you do with $25,000?With 25k, I would invest in my art career by purchasing supplies, creating new work, and participating in more art fairs and events to share my work with a larger audience. It would also help me become more financially stable so I can focus more fully on creating art.
