I love to create something from nothing. To fill the empty void of a blank canvas with something that hopefully leaves a lasting impression.
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 I love to create focuses on the many iterations of the character archetypes that exist within our collective consciousness, especially The Hero and the Magician, two archetypes that embody positivity and foster creativitiy, among many other essential traits that helps streghten themselves and those around them.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from everything I consume, from movies, music, and especially videogames, even certain meals inspire my art. The challenge is to focus all the inspiration into a focused beam to illuminate a coherent subject for my art.
What would you do with $25,000?The prize money would go towards expanding my ability to create by securing a larger workspace to alleviate my current spatial constraints. Whats left would be used on equipment like 3d printers, laser cutter and other art supplies.
