I create art to understand and share what I feel and to give shape and light to moments that don’t always have words.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Abstract! It allows my emotions,memory, and imagination to speak freely—beyond rules, beyond realism, into something deeply personal and open to interpretation
Where do you find inspiration?I create intuitively, allowing color, light, and movement to guide the process, layering emotion and memory until the piece feels balanced, expressive, and alive.
What would you do with $25,000?I would purchase a van and travel with my family, exploring landscapes, light, and fleeting moments and making special memories that continually inspire my photography and fuel the creation of new abstract art.
