I create art because I need to. Imagination is life; without it, we are the living dead.
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 to create is figurative expressionism because I enjoy turning emotions, ideas, and my awe of nature into visual form. I also love painting landscapes and animals, capturing both their beauty and the feeling they evoke.
Where do you find inspiration?I am most inspried by the beauty of the natural world, in an untouched state. I love observing light, atmosphere, and the quiet feeling of being immersed in nature. Inspriation also comes from human nature, moments, or feelings that stay with me long after they happen.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would allow me to fully invest in my creativity instead of constantly surviving around it. I would use it to grow my art career sustainably by upgrading supplies and equipment, creating new collections, attending art markets and exhibitions, and expanding my online presence. Most importantly, it would give me the freedom to take bigger creative risks, create more meaningful work, and connect my art with more people.
