I try to visualize emotions and the human condition through pseudo abstractions.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love figure art with a twist of the abstract. I love taking a model and enhancing the emotion of their pose with color and abstract surroundings.
Where do you find inspiration?I have been inspired by illustrators and comics my whole life. Storytelling through art. I would love at some point to be making my own books but for now I am exploring the figure in interesting ways.
What would you do with $25,000?That kind of gift would seriously help me upgrade my studio, modernize my workspace. Stock up on supplies, canvas, paints etc... also to have money on hand to apply to gallery shows and submissions. Absolutely would take my projects to the next level.
