I make art because it makes me feel alive. I don’t really do it for other people; I do it for 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 to make would be painting with gouache. I find it soothing and fun to do.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from things that I find either funny or fascinating. I also get a lot of inspiration from my travels and nature.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to get art supplies and to travel, mostly. I’d love to see more places in the world and get more inspiration!
