Art shapes the world and everything around us reflects it. Without art, life would feel empty. I create to express myself.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Tattoos, portraits on pen on paper, and acrylic on canvas
Where do you find inspiration?My family, my girlfriend, fellow artists, and my faith in God are the driving forces behind my passion and dedication. Their support, encouragement, and belief in my abilities continue to push me to grow, improve, and stay committed to my craft. Seeing others pursue their own paths and express themselves creatively inspires me to do the same. With their influence, I remain motivated to keep learning, evolving, and building a meaningful and lasting career in tattooing.
What would you do with $25,000?I will be using these funds to purchase the essential tools and high-quality supplies needed to begin and sustain my work as a tattoo artist. This includes machines, needles, inks, sanitation products, and other equipment required to ensure safe and professional service. Beyond materials, this support will also help me continue developing my skills, grow my portfolio, and establish myself within the industry. With this foundation, I aim to build a strong and lasting career in tattooing.
