I love creating art because I feel that the world needs more magic in it to make life feel worth living, to break away from the mundane.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!

Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from observing the collision of physical and metaphysical reality clashing against one another and the struggle of humanity within the human condition.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off my car, buy my mom a new car, give my best friends $1000 each and donate the rest to people who truly need it most in this world personally, one by one because I know there are many genuine and amazing charities but I’d just want to make absolutely sure myself that the right people get the help they deserve since there’s just so much hardship going on in society right now all over our planet.
