I create art to turn emotion, dreams, darkness, and imagination into surreal worlds that feel alive and deeply personal.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create is surreal and emotional artwork inspired by dreams, symbolism, nature, darkness, and imagination. I love creating pieces filled with layered meaning, cosmic elements, creatures, eyes, color, and emotion. My art often feels like a mix between fantasy and reality, exploring beauty, chaos, spirit, and identity through intense atmospheres and dreamlike worlds.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through dreams, emotions, nature, music, memories, spirituality, and the world around me. A lot of my ideas come from deep feelings, symbolism, personal experiences, and observing energy, color, and atmosphere in everyday life. I’m inspired by darkness and beauty existing together, as well as the connection between humans, animals, spirit, and imagination. Creating art allows me to turn emotions and visions into something visual and alive.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000, I would invest it into my future, my art, and creating stability in my life. I would use part of it to grow as an artist by purchasing supplies, improving my workspace, and exploring new creative projects. I would also save money for travel, personal goals, and building a peaceful life where I can continue creating freely without financial stress holding me back.
