I make art to visually explain what words cannot describe, to make someone feel something they never thought they could feel.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy making art that is very emotional and has meaning, when you’d expect a dark, gloomy picture, you’ll see my emotional pieces filled with color. This is because every emotion is beautiful and an experience.
Where do you find inspiration?Through everyday life, struggles, conversations, and memories. Things that even some may find strange or unexpected, I find inspiration everywhere
What would you do with $25,000?I’d give half to my mother, she has been with me for my whole creative and artistic journey, she struggles to pay for me and my siblings everyday living and has always dreamt of making our house more personal and functional. The rest would stay in a savings account for me to invest in college and future needs, but would allow myself to give to those who need it, friends/family or a stranger in need
