Art is what allows me to be me, to create the reality I want. I love the freedom that I experience when I create art through film and photo.
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 is film. I love to create different realities where we can find the answer to questions that some people never dare to ask, or worlds where everything is possible in spite of the adversities and obstacles.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday life. My life, or other people’s lives. I find inspiration in songs and nature. Nature is a great teacher and inspirational source.
What would you do with $25,000?I would start a nonprofit where I can teach kids to create through the art of film. I want them to fall in love with the idea of being capable of making films, creating worlds and characters where they can see themselves as the superheroes.
