I love creating art because I feel it’s a media I can show my appreciation for life and movies. It’s a way I can express myself without word
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I absolutely love Canvas art. The physical feel of it all as well knowing it is something that comes from my own hands makes it even better. I love sketching out on a canvas to see what it can be and being about to make mistakes because not everything is perfect. I also like digital art because of being able to sketch a work out into something that will end up in a totally different way.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in movies mostly. The art film has always inspired me ever since I was small. It was a way I feel me and my now dead father always connect. Doing art around films I love just by myself or with my friends and even family makes me feel like that certain art piece has a different meaning or story behind it.
What would you do with $25,000?My main focus is to donate to Palestine Children's Relief Fund which provides medical and humanitarian relief collectively and individually to children throughout the Levant of Palestine. I would also start my career as an independent artist as well while being able to provide for a studio to show off my different art as well as show off other artist art as well.
