You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My art is a blend of mixed media, bold color, movement, and texture—each piece reflecting emotion, energy, and connection.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from many places—my emotions, the beauty and energy of nature, and the creativity of talented artists around me. Most of all, it comes from my passion to keep learning, growing, and discovering something new every day.
What would you do with $25,000?I would support my family in Colombia while continuing to learn and grow as an artist by studying new painting techniques.
