I create art to express emotions that I could never speak out loud. Instead turning it into something to visualize.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art is photography. Using pictures to portray the words unsaid & the emotions unfelt.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from quite simply being human. Everyone goes through the hard trials of life. For me, it was grief and it was the emotions I could never speak out loud. Instead I was able to portray those emotions through images. I find inspiration in expressing emotions through my photographs.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to start a photography company.
