Creating is something I have to do. It is the action of channeling energy into something greater.
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 to make is something that evokes emotion. I'm not partial to the particular emotion as long as one feels something from it, then I have served the piece well. Photography, filmmaking, painting, mixed media, among other disciplines are all something I delve into, I also incorporate other mediums into other works. Not keeping my minds eye in idle. Create, do your best for the work to speak for itself, next piece and your previous pieces live on.
Where do you find inspiration?My wife, music, nature, the cosmos, feminine energy, death. Those are what come to mind in that order. There are other topics, people, and other art that are inspireing as well. Sometimes you have to be bombarded, then sit in the stillness to see what unfolds in the aftermath.
What would you do with $25,000?I keep writing more than 500 characters. Twenty-five thousand dollars would be literally life-changing for my wife. Raven suffers from a TBI and other complications from an accident she wasn't responsible for. Raven had just earned her PhD in Human Behavior and was a clinical psychologist. Sadly Raven was forced into retirement and cannot work. I would use the funds for treatment we can't afford and she deserves. I want to do everything I can to give my person a better life.
