I’m passionate about creating art that inspires, connects, and leaves a lasting impact. Art helps one to make sense of the world.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favourite type of art to create is 3D work. I love designing pieces that play with depth & perception, creating a sense of realism that captures attention & sparks reaction. Seeing how people interpret these illusions is incredibly rewarding. I’ve explored many avenues in my artistic journey, including commissioned paintings, murals, chalk art & mixed media. I’ve dedicated countless hours to acrylic & oil painting, as well as pencil, coloured pencil & pastel work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the human experience—emotion, connection, and shared moments that people can relate to. Everyday life, nature, and personal stories all influence my work. I’m especially drawn to creating pieces that evoke feeling and perspective, allowing viewers to see a part of themselves within the art.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would invest in expanding my art practice by upgrading materials, tools, and studio space. I would dedicate more time to creating larger-scale and more immersive pieces, particularly in 3D work, while also funding opportunities to exhibit my art, grow my audience, and continue developing my skills.
