I create to turn raw emotion into living symbols. Art that reflects truth, breaks illusion, and connects us back to ourselves.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating symbolic, surreal art that explores transformation and emotional depth. My work focuses on the unseen layers of the human experience, capturing moments of change, identity, and becoming through bold linework and intuitive symbolism.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from my spiritual experiences, intuitive work with others, and the subconscious layers of the human mind. I’m inspired by transformation, hidden emotions, and the symbolic language that exists beneath the surface of everyday life.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in expanding my art practice and building a sustainable creative platform - developing new work, sharing it more widely, and creating opportunities to connect with and support others through art. I’d also use it to create more stability in my life so I can fully focus on my creative path.
