I create art because It is how I embody god. It taught me that god is within and every since I’ve had a desire to express that same love.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I call it “Emergent Art”. When I create I like to come to the camera with a general idea but the magic happens when you don’t try to create something specific. Great works come to you when that idea is ready, you won’t have to chase it. So that is why I base my style of Emergence because all is possible and there is a unique beauty and possibility in each outcome. And well to be completely I don’t know all of the different categories of art, I just create and observe art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in music. Music is a journey, from start to finish. It is orgasmic, and that’s how I see my work. When I first started creating when I was at my lowest, I used music as my guide to understanding what I would create because all of the ideas that came to me were mostly unintentional. It’s almost as if I was being taking along a journey. Like I was inside of an opus that has yet to reach climax. Love is definitely the overarching inspiration tho because that’s the message!
What would you do with $25,000?To be honest I’m going to constructively think about that now, but I honestly just want a small studio. And invest in something that will be a start to wealth instead of money that lasts for a certain amount of time, ya know? I’ve never been around that much money before but I would give some money to the homeless guy at the 4-way intersection near my house. He always holds a cardboard sign that says “smile”. He’s helped me more than he will ever know. I hope I see him tomorrow.
