I like making art mainly because I enjoy the creative process. I find satisfaction in experimenting with materials, colors, and techniques.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create is work inspired by water, light, and the ocean. I enjoy exploring movement, reflections, and the emotional connection between nature and people, often drawing inspiration from marine environments.
Where do you find inspiration?I enjoy exploring the way light interacts with waves, reflections, and fluid forms, as well as the emotions and sense of mystery.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the prize, I would invest it in creating a new body of work inspired by the Galápagos Islands, exploring their unique biodiversity, landscapes, and the movement of water and light that deeply inspire my art. Through these pieces, I hope to highlight the importance of protecting one of the most extraordinary places in the world and encourage a deeper appreciation for ocean conservation and the natural environment.
