I discover the world through my art. I find inspiration in everyday, music, philosophy. Art gives meaning to my life.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I work across mediums (multidisciplinary) painting, printmaking, collaborative sculptures from recycling plastic, performances with shadow puppets (collaborating with musicians).
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere.: friends, nature (trees!), people (kids), pop culture, light, films, music, ocean and mountains, Peter Schumann, MF Doom, El Lessitsky, Jim Jarmusch, Soul Eater anime, Spirited away anime, Durer.
What would you do with $25,000?I will use the $25,000 to produce the first film in an ongoing animation series that expands my visual storytelling into motion. The project will combine drawing, puppetry, and performance, and involve collaborators across disciplines. Funds will support materials, equipment, artist stipends, and post-production, resulting in a completed short film and a foundation for future work.
