Art was my only escape as an only child. Now I put on music and get lost in the mood as I draw what inspires me! Art is my life!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Portfolios! Because they capture the true essence of that person. A moment that'll never be lost due to time! A portrait captures a memory of that person's aura! Even in pencil I can bring out the life in their eyes! A smile that never frowns! A light that never burns out! A soul! To bring life back to someone who is long gone but will always be there smiling and looking after you! To be there when no one else is! I love art because it brings Life!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the portraits I draw from the inspiration that person gives to the people who support them! Another artist, musician, comedian, actor, teacher or a loved one! Everyone inspires another which is why my collection will never be complete! I find inspiration in books when my mind starts seeing details. Movies also play a big part! Moments that have no photographs to them
What would you do with $25,000?I'd get an LLC & start my own art gallery to help other people capture rare moments that may never happen again! A place to live and work on my art! Get a car if possible or at least a down payment. I'm walking or riding a bike to work! I can't afford Uber now that they're overcharging! It gave me a heart attack last year, but I'm still at it & standing on my own two feet! So this $25,000 will give me a home and security!
