"I love art because it is the only refuge where reality meets magic and my hands can make what the heart feels bloom."
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to create landscapes that make me feel at peace. Mixing the colors of the sky, as if I were entering nature and could walk through the canvas.
Where do you find inspiration?I don't have a specific place that inspires me. I have only solitude and silence—which allow me to enter a place that only I can imagine, and that place is what I create on the canvas. At times, it might be a song, an image, or something I’ve read, which I use as a reference for my creation.
What would you do with $25,000?This event marks the beginning of my career as an artist, and the $25,000 will serve as the foundation for the start of a great journey—one in which I will be able to expand my studio, more people will discover my talent, and I will be able to make a living doing what I love most.
