Art is my oxygen. Drawing & painting pull me into an alternate universe where I stay sane, free, and endlessly alive.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Surreal fantasy art. I paint the impossible, the dreamlike, the worlds that only exist inside my imagination.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is everywhere, in nature, animals, heartwarming moments, and even in conflict and pain. But my truest inspiration lives inside my mind, a constant stream of ideas and visions that never stops. My deepest work comes from personal experiences. Sometimes when I’m working on a piece and searching for answers, the solution appears in a dream, like finding the missing piece of a puzzle. I wake up and jump out of bed to capture it before it fades.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning $25,000 would be a game changer. I would invest in framing my artwork professionally, expanding my online presence through my website and digital platforms, and finally launch my playing card art deck, a project close to my heart. I would also use it to enter more art fairs to bring my work to more people. And true to what I always do, I would buy art from fellow artists, because supporting our community is just as important as creating. This money would fuel art , mine and others.
