Art helps me explore the deepest parts of my mind. It also gives me a sense of purpose and meaning.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I generally paint mid to large, thick, oil and acrylic abstract or abstract/figurative paintings on canvass.
Where do you find inspiration?My style is propelled by an equal curiosity for what can be seen as well as unseen, with the idea based in Quantum Physics. I’m interested in matter and the physical world, but equally interested in the space in-between fermions that the human eye is unable to see. I’m currently exploring the interconnection of all energy and how everything effects everything.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to create a series of large oil and acrylic paintings on canvass about the subject of A.I. and the theory that artificial intelligence may be fracturing humanity and possibly our reality. We live in a precarious time. I believe we must fight back through a social movement where we consciously unite and take back our reality. Art is our best hope at igniting this revolution and I’m eager for my personal purpose in life to play a part in this crucial movement.
