I create art to make sense of what I feel but cannot explain, turning quiet thoughts into something that can be seen.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
When I’m asked my favorite type of art, I don’t have a single answer.Expressing emotion often requires more than one medium. I work with charcoal, painting, and ceramics, each revealing a different layer of feeling. I am drawn to what exists beyond limits and want to explore what lies outside them, using art as my way to understand who I am and express myself .
Where do you find inspiration?We are all on a journey, shaped and tested by everything we go through . Each experience leaves a mark, slowly transforming who we are. I find inspiration in observing life closely, people, animals, and nature in all their beauty and fragility. In every detail, I search for meaning, and in that search, I find myself.
What would you do with $25,000?I am a student. To be honest, I would pay for my school and reduce financial pressure. The remaining funds would help cover expenses for my upcoming art exhibitions. I have a dream to let the world know about my work, so I am here, present, and taking that step forward.
