my art feels more like a possession. i am a willing host for the creatures that crave fruition, and for the stories they manifest to share.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
my medium is pen ink and sketch paper. my art style involves humanoid creatures and grotesque elements. i try to create art thats simplistic, but intricate at the same time. i create art to remind people who see my art that we all have demons, and to not be ashamed of something we all struggle with.
Where do you find inspiration?my inspiration comes from the words i dont say but wish to say, the things i dont do but wish to do. the thoughts and feelings that stay pent up inside for so long, they become autonomous creatures of their own. my art is inspired by heavy emotion, whether it be paranoia or guilt or angst or regret. giving those emotions faces and bodies makes them easier to deal with. im inspired by the deep things we keep hidden as humans.
What would you do with $25,000?i would use that money to help support myself and my parents. we would probably end up putting it in a savings fund. that money would help a lot with our expenses.
