I paint what I feel, what lives in my mind and heart, opening a door to say: you’re not alone.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m passionate about exploring color, texture, and form. I naturally gravitate toward richly textured paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by life, the hard parts and the beautiful ones. Being human isn’t easy, and surviving it takes strength. My art is a reflection of everything I’ve lived through, my past, my present, and the future I’m still shaping. I see beauty around me, but it’s my feelings that turn that inspiration into something real.
What would you do with $25,000?I will donate 5k of it to Children of war charity and the rest is gonna go toward opening my studio where everyone no matter their expertise and level will be welcome to express themsleve .
