As a physically disabled person art gives me the opportunity to be free from my physical limitations. I am able to create a new reality.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Magical realism and surrealism. I love painting and sculpture equally. I love to build immersive surreal worlds. We all need temporary escapes from the world and art is the perfect escape.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, exploration, play, dreams, travel, moods, events, ancient past, and the future.
What would you do with $25,000?I will create an immersive healing temple art experience in Los Angeles, featuring large-scale interactive installations, sculptures, tapestries, videos, and paintings—all designed by me. This memorable, futuristic surrealist temple will foster community healing. Local artists, musicians, and vendors will offer live performances and workshops, while a collaborative community art piece invites everyone to participate, with my vision shaping the main immersive works.
