I love to create art, because I feel like i'm making a story for people to decipher and connect to.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to create portraits. I try to add storytelling through composition and symbolism.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration among things I see everyday. I hoard images I love, that speak to me and put them together to make new stories.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to get myself an actual studio space! I would also use the money to buy equipment to document my artistic process, and share it with other people!
