I’ve created for others as commission work, I create now for my world building & brand. Making art is freeing & helps my ideas come to life.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to create acrylic based spray paint canvas pieces that incorporate fine details from acrylic paint brushes & markers. I also love designing, whether it’s buildings, clothing, furniture, etc. I’m always open to opening up new avenues of my art in any medium or canvas.
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration from nature & Gods creations & aesthetic from old abandoned buildings, Italian architecture, adrenaline junkies, & refined rebels. The whole aspect of living life to the fullest & just doing it for the freedom of it. I do all of my work & everything that pushes me is for the freedom of it. I want a day where I don’t have to think about working a 9-5 where I could wake up happy knowing I can take it easy & use my raw creativity to work not push & force anything.
What would you do with $25,000?Id take a little bit of the money to travel my family & friends to the artist event or museum after winning but id take the rest of the money to build my own clothing brand. Take some money for marketing, samples, etc. I’d make it for my own aesthetic, designs & world building similar to Ralph Lauren in a way. Having standing staples in hero products alongside consistent collections with limited graphics made from art pieces according to my themed drops.
