As I move through a world that can be difficult, I create to show the world what it means to transmute emotions in something physical.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My work blends surrealism, visionary art, and storytelling through digital compositions exploring transformation, perception, shadow work, and consciousness. Using vivid color, spiritual realms, and dreamlike scenery, I reflect inner evolution, breaking illusions, and confronting thoughts and beliefs. Each piece acts as a portal into my mind, balancing beauty and chaos, nostalgia and transcendence, softness and intensity to express the complexity of human experience.
Where do you find inspiration?As time passes and moments are processed, there is a wide spread of inspiration coming from my own dreams to my daily life. It’s a culmination of everything I’ve lived through, every memory, emotions, and experiences. All sorted out through creating my own voice as an artist.
What would you do with $25,000?With each piece I create, I intentionally evolve my vision toward producing distinctive, meaningful prints. This opportunity would allow me to establish my own website and further expand my creative practice—not only in the digital space, but through painting as well. Any earnings generated would be reinvested into developing and growing my artistic world, enabling me to bring each idea to life in its fullest physical form. With the hopes of inspiring others to chase after their own vision.
