You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like creating meaningful and symbolic pieces that tell a story through emotion and culture.
Where do you find inspiration?I'm inspired by personal experiences and the stories I get the opportunity to listen to. I like turning both the struggle and beauty in them into art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put half of it into my savings, and use the other half to help my mom open her first store for her business so she has more space for her workshop and she can keep growing with what makes her happy.
