Art has been part of my personality since I was a young boy. My teachers always motivated me to chase art. And now it is me. I love it.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Now a days I like to draw digitally. But I love pen and pencil on paper as my mediums to use. As long as it's made by my hands out of passion and love, I call it art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find the best inspiration from the love of creation and artistry being completely engaged in the here and now. Immersed in my my vision. Watching people enjoy the arts is the best feeling. It brings unification. Peace. And builds the greatest friendships. I thrive in that kind of love and motivation.
What would you do with $25,000?With that kind of money, I would help my friends, family and anyone else in need. I grew up in poverty, I know all too well how hard things can be. Especially now with gas prices and everything being so expensive. The money wouldn't be just for me to spend. But to share and help.
