In this divided era of miscommunication, art continues to create community, through conversation, debate, and merging of ideas.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Accidents are more favorable than intentional art, though my most comfortable style is drawing realism. Recently I've been interested in stepping out of my comfort zone and experimenting with different styles, mediums and tools.
Where do you find inspiration?Usually I find inspiration through hard times and attempting to communicate issues that are overlooked. Other times, I find inspiration from nature and pleasant experiences.
What would you do with $25,000?I would expand my art studio. I would buy a large easel for drawing, large quantities of dry glazes, framing materials, a sandblaster, and other mediums I'm dying to experiment with (such as copper sheets and metal clay), etc. I would buy materials, tools and things to create art in a more comfortable space.
