Since 13, I’ve turned skin into story creating art that gives me peace and holds power in every line.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m drawn to black and grey realism tattooing, especially portrait work inspired by classical statues, Greek mythology, and the dramatic style of Renaissance art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in classical art. Artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci influence my approach to anatomy, lighting, and composition, while my clients’ ideas and personal stories help shape each piece into something meaningful and unique.
What would you do with $25,000?After being approved for my O-1 visa and moving to the U.S. to pursue my dream of tattooing in Los Angeles, I would use the $25,000 to help me get a car so I can continue building my career, and to support my girlfriend by helping cover the cost of her surgery.
