I create art to turn dreams into form, to make the invisible felt, and to leave a trace of soul where words fall short
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I don’t choose one medium. I build dream fragments — painting, animation, characters — all bleeding into each other.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in dreams, nature, and silence. Especially in those moments where reality feels slightly unreal — like a memory you can’t fully explain, but you can feel.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it in building a creative sanctuary in nature — a space where art, experimentation, and community can coexist. A place to create, share, and turn imagination into something tangible.
