I take photos that are open to interpretation for discussion to bring people together and fellowship and talk
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Photography and sketching are my biggest creative channel to bring visual pleasure and indulgement for not only myself, but mainly others. I cover realism, but also trap life in the moment weather beautiful or ugly as long as its true.
Where do you find inspiration?I look inward to myself and tune into how I feel. I let my emotions and feelings guide me to what, why l, and what it means for me. My art is always open to inturpatation of others. Insperation comes from a vast field, I really dont have one specific one. As all artists I have met said, art is what you see as an individual, everybody sees things differently.
What would you do with $25,000?This is an absolutley tough question because Im caught in a catch 22. I would like to buy art and music supplies for children and adults with developmental disabilities because their art is how they express themselves and how they communicate most of the time. Also on the other hand I would like to buy a small mobile home to replace my families because ours is outdated and has alot of issues beyond fixing and isnt securable. And my wife and son deserve better for doing so much to help me!
