It excites me to create my own worlds and subjects and give it the twist I desire with no rules, as if I'm giving birth to my dreams.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
There are various types of art I have experimented and enjoyed doing these passed few years, from abstract to surreal to objective drawings. At one point I focused on automatic abstract drawing but my favorite would be considered all black work mythology based drawings that tell a story or build up something alike. Have various scenarios so you can explore what is going on throughout the drawing. Focusing on making it look ancient and historic.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from seeing historical drawings, prints, and paintings with rich history in them of events. From realistic to made up scenes of other worldly places. Also, there are various artists I have seen that inspire me to do more of the artwork im focusing on. These artists are mostly in Instagram and active such as Skinner, Sawblade, Gravestench and one artist that is long passed to the other side of life and death is Albrecht Dürer with his rich and detailed prints from the 1500's.
What would you do with $25,000?To be honest there are so many things I would love to invest with the money but as of now the main focus would be to use the money to have my own studio space and equipment for printmaking. Shit's expensive haha
