I create to make the unseen tangible—turning shadow into form, and depth into something that can be felt, held, and understood.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Abstract art is my favorite — it opens a space where there’s no right or wrong, just a creator bringing something entirely new into form.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration lives in the space where ideas begin. I’m driven by the act of bringing something entirely new into existence—transforming thought and energy into form, one piece at a time.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to expand my creative practice and the world surrounding it—investing in materials for larger sculptural works while growing my metaphysical art store into a more immersive experience. I would also invest in marketing to connect with aligned audiences and collectors, while setting aside a portion to support future creative opportunities.
