You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Wood art...very fragile. Yet my optical sculpture made up of cement & optical (portholes) made with:self made lens. Im color blind Painter so my abstract portraits have its own perspective...and my photographic art were created before digital photography...black & white photography printed with sepia paper...The composition is the real deal...XP3...Plus X & Delta... B&W Film
Where do you find inspiration?Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Dali & current profession artists like Jonny Depp. For me... the ability to evolve my perspective whilst I see others artists ideas & works are the key to finding peace 4 & i think the world !
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the monies to find a patron so as in I can get my own studio. Other then that i would use the money so I could stand in Rembrandts studio and spend days looking at Vincent Van Gogh work in Amsterdam museum. Btw...I've been influenced by VINCENT...ive given out 10 paintings... Like Vincent I've only sold 1 painting back in 2011. Im blessed & learnt to create paintings in a quickened rate...I have about 250 of my abstract portraits...made in my style. Maybe i can get an article
