I create art to make myself go into meditation and just paint after my heart and feelings.If I’m not satisfied I can change it and change it
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 art is to paint in oil on canvas, and maybe have an idea of what to paint but usually when I paint after my heart it turns out the best. I like to paint kind of realistic but with no limits of imagination on the painting. Ice-bears in Sahara or a store on the North Pole selling bathing suits. I also love to work with clay doing sculptures but mainly doing paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my fantasy and also from reality in life. Let’s say a politician comes up with a totally stupid idea , that idea can make my fantasy start to become an ironic painting of the stupid idea. Also I find myself doing paintings in my head especially during bedtime and next day the idea becomes reality on canvas or becomes something totally different.
What would you do with $25,000?Probably build me a nice painting stand and maybe invest in better quality on canvas and save the rest for the future.
