I create art to express the fundamentals of what emotions look like and captivate the idea of visual appeal in art again
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 art to create is supernatural/horror themed pieces with bright and vibrant colors to blend and change the idea of horror/supernatural art being only dark color schemes
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from emotions that i find fundamental to my personality such as the highs and low of dealing with bipolar 1 but i also take inspiration from day to day items like animals, statues, and figures and imagine them in a different style
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use the money to help launch my artistic career. Funding projects and submitting more artist call applications that have fees associated to them that has caused barriers in applying. I’d use the money for personal liabilities i need to prioritize like school loans and past medical bills not just to cover them but make it so i can spend less time working overtime that i need to in order to pay these liabilities that then get in the way of making more art.
