I create art as a form of escape and peace. It allows me to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with myself.
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 type of art can be described as contemporary stylized realism with expressionist influence. Although, I feel there is not one favorite as I paint what I feel and see as a multi-styled artist.
Where do you find inspiration?My work is inspired by the world around me, but rooted in emotion. Each piece becomes an outlet, a way to release, process, and give shape to what I feel but can’t always put into words.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to create a space where I can fully be myself through my art. It would give me the freedom to invest in my work, grow my skills, and share what I create with a wider audience. Art has always been my escape and my peace, and this would help me turn that into something bigger, not just for me, but for others who connect with it.
