I create for myself. I create to escape reality. I create what i see through my eyes. I create for emotion.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love abstract art and texture art. I use alot of acrylic paints and my very first medium was spray paint art. After diving into acrylics that's where I found my true medium.
Where do you find inspiration?In everyday life and experiences. I am more of a reference artist. I picture what i want to paint and grab references from anywhere and everywhere until i finally see what i want to paint.
What would you do with $25,000?I would fix my moms house. There is so much repair that needs to go into it. With what is left I would invest in myself. I would love to own my own clothing store.
