Honestly, I wish I had a deep meaning on why I love art but truly it’s just simple. It brings me peace. Art will remain forever.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art to create lives somewhere between reality and imagination, where classical influence meets modern expression. I’m deeply inspired by the timeless structure and the beauty of Roman and Greek art, yet equally drawn to the raw and unfiltered graffiti art. Instead of choosing one style I’m blend them together, merging realism with fiction to create work that feels alive and deeply personal. In the end, my art is ever changing, but always authentic and shaped by emotion.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from every part of my life; my past, present, and the dreams I have for the future. The ups and downs I’ve experienced naturally show up in my work, turning each piece into a small, meaningful glimpse of who I am. I’m also inspired by other artist whose passion and creativity push me to grow and create. Beyond that, I find inspiration in the world around me. The wind, the rain, the sky, the flowers, and the quiet beauty of the stars; all of which I try to capture.
What would you do with $25,000?Many people would say they donate this money or give it back, but I don’t need $25,000 to do that. Kindness is free and it’s something I pursue every day. What I truly need is an opportunity to grow. I’ve worked my way through college and will be graduating with 2 degrees, all while chasing my dream of becoming a special effects artist. To get there, I plan to attend esthetician school, earn my license and build a stable career that allows me to keep investing in my future and my dreams. Thank u
