I create art to alchemize pain into power, intuitively capturing the energy of my environment inspired by spirituality and mental health.
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 to create colourful live speed paintings that capture the energy and vibration of the room. My process is all about play, and I find funky faces amidst the paint that help represent emotion and mindset.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my meditative process, my community, and from authentic deep connection/storytelling.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in a new studio space to create more art, host events for creative communities, and get out of debt. Being a full time artist comes with lots of bills, and I hope to lessen that burden and focus on creating and inspiring the world to heal through art.
