I believe I was put on this earth to change the world with my imagination, and the arts have given me the outlet to do this.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create in any way I can, whether that be drawing, making music, directing films, or working on my novel, “Julian Ellis”, that I have dedicated the last 6 years to. There is no singular medium that I could fairly call my favorite, and instead try to express my vision through a variety of forms based on how I want to influence my audience with each individual work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything I experience, from my day -to -day life to the responses I get when presenting my artwork. I have a very high respect for the great artists that came before me, and as a young artist, look to them as the beacons of how I want my life to play out. In today’s age of AI, I believe the arts will soon be at the greatest tension point in history, and it will be up to the artists of today to dictate the outcome. This, I will spend my life fighting for.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use this to support my artistic ambitions
