I create art to bring color to gray spaces, connecting people, culture, and identity through murals that tell real stories.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Public art and contemporary murals inspired by pop art.
Where do you find inspiration?In everyday life, human connection, and nature. Especially in the stories, colors, and energy of the communities I work with.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it in a community-driven art project within a student environment—creating large-scale murals and workshops that engage youth directly in the creative process. The project would also foster collaboration with other artists, building a network of shared knowledge, cultural exchange, and long-term impact through art.
