Orel Levy: O-1B conceptual artist & surfer. I use surfboards as a canvas to bridge light and darkness, merging deep spirituality with art

I create conceptual multidisciplinary art under my brand LDCS (Light Decorative Custom Surfboards). I use meticulously designed surfboards as sculptural canvases to bridge the gap between light and darkness in everyday life. My art integrates my background as a surfer and boxer with deep spiritual beliefs and values. The surfboard's upward bow points toward the sky, symbolizing a connection to God. I aim to create pieces that inspire people to discover their true selves and inner light.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration stems from the intersection of ancient spirituality, Jewish philosophy, and the concepts of light and darkness, combined with the modern business and technology landscape. I draw ideas from strategic connections, advanced infrastructure, and the raw power of the ocean as a surfer. The encounter between nature, industrial innovation, and global management drives my creative process, allowing me to synchronize heart and mind to formulate profound conceptual pieces.
What would you do with $25,000?First and foremost, I would use the funds to feed and support my family, ensuring their stability. Beyond that, my primary objective is to maximize value by amplifying the reach of my art. I will strategically invest the remaining capital to distribute the divine light of my creations on a global scale. This includes expanding my studio infrastructure and marketing operations to touch more hearts, spread positive moral lessons, and connect a wider audience to their true inner purpose.
