I create art because its like being in a another world for that moment. It quiets my mind lets me be in the moment. Like your favorite song.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I feel at home with BW Fine art Photography, because stripping away the color lets emotion take center stage. The light, shadow, texture, and silence speaks louder. I'm drawn to raw, timeless moments each image carries.
Where do you find inspiration?From the contrast between darkness and tenderness. Gloom, shadow, and gothic beauty influence how I see the world, but so do softness, warmth, and brief moments of sweetness. I take memories from a difficult childhood and turn them into something real, choosing to make art from pain rather than letting it define me. Each image I create balances what once haunted me with what still feels alive, gentle, and worth keeping.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, I'll get the last pieces of equipment I need for my photography, then give my mom whatever she needs to pay off her dept or at least bring it down. If anything is left, ill save it.
