I create because I don't have a choice. It is not only a need for intellectual stimulation but also for spiritual fulfillment.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Currently I'm interested in mixing cubism, surrealism, and symbolism to realize the current series that I'm working on. My style changes based on the concept and how that style can best articulate the ideas that I am conveying.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the world around me. After visiting Ireland and Scotland recently, I've been investigating ideas about Celtic mythology and the reciprocal nature of our universe and how mythological stories can inform us of our place in the universe. I'm mostly interested in creating genuine feelings and experiences for the viewer.
What would you do with $25,000?As a art teacher, I would pay off my masters degree loan, and use the remaining money to jump start my art website and YouTube channel where I intend to create art instruction videos, and critique art work to spread art knowledge. I think in a world of AI art, it may help inspire others to build art making skills to create art instead of leaning on the image generated software.
