Resistance is life. I dream as an act of resistance through painting.
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 is abstract and semi-abstract painting. I’m drawn to texture, geometric forms, repetition, and the balance between structure and emotion. In my work, I often use minimal forms and layered compositions to express movement, memory, and human presence. I also enjoy combining symbolic or figurative elements with abstraction to create work that feels both visually engaging and emotionally atmospheric.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in fragility, memory, silence, and the unseen emotions people carry.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to keep creating art honestly, without letting survival silence me.
