I love create art, because that’s my way of life. I can express my emotions through making art. And sharing new thoughts and ideas .
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My creativity has truly evolved steering me towards the raw expressive world of abstract. I’m currently focused on exploring new techniques, blending unexpected textures & colors to break away from traditional forms. My focus is on intentional discovery, pushing boundaries to create a unique, personal style that feels authentic & constantly evolving.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration stems from a fusion of raw energy & deep emotion. I am driven by Jackson pollock’s action painting,utilizing a spontaneous “drip technique “ to create movement & dynamics, visceral textures. This is balanced by the emotive intensity & expressive brush work of Vincent Van Gogh , focusing on vibrant colors that convey a deep, personal connection to nature & interiority.Together, they fuel my passion for abstract, gesture expression.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000.00 I would accelerate my transition to a full time artist by securing a dedicated studio space, upgrading my equipment & funding a professional one-man show. This investment would cover high quality materials, marketing, & the production of 30-50 curated pieces. I would use the funds to launch a website, create compelling promotional materials & host an opening event to connect with collectors, treating my art as a sustainable business.
