Creating art to me means being able to share a part of myself with the world, a way to inspire others to do the same.
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 types of art to create are fine art photography and digital art. Through photography, especially nature and landscapes, I capture the world in a more abstract and expressive way while highlighting the importance of preserving our planet’s ecosystems for future generations. With digital art, I enjoy the freedom to create anything I imagine, blending different mediums and styles into cohesive, visually compelling pieces that reflect my creativity and inspires others.
Where do you find inspiration?Oh man, I find inspiration in all sorts of things. I find it in nature, I find it in friends and family. I find it in other artists. I find it in dreams, words, conversations. My whole life I’ve been very creatively focused and inspiration has always come to me from so many things. I’m very grateful for this gift.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning the 25k would be life changing for me. I would be able to use the funds to fully bring my collections to life. I’d finish my large scale fine art photography prints with them and work on securing a beautiful gallery to showcase them. I’d have the funds to grow my GASHINA pop Art universe by expanding the collection with figurines, a graphic manga style novel for the lore behind the GASHina universe I’ve created. Furthermore I’d create a workshop for novice artists to collaborate.
